TRANSLATION If hundreds
of thousands of suns rose up at once into the sky, they might resemble
the effulgence of the Supreme Person in that universal form.
PURPORT What Arjuna
saw was indescribable, yet Sanjaya is trying to give a mental picture of
that great revelation to Dhrtarastra. Neither Sanjaya nor Dhrtarastra was
present, but Sanjaya, by the grace of Vyasa, could see whatever happened.
Thus he now compares the situation, as far as it can be understood, to
an imaginable phenomenon (i.e. thousands of suns).
