Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11, Verse 12 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the eleventh chapter, the Yoga of the Vision of the Universal Form (Vishwarupa Darshana Yoga), Arjuna asks to behold Krishna's cosmic form. Granted divine sight, he sees the whole universe within the Lord. This verse describes the unimaginable radiance of that vision — a brilliance like a thousand suns blazing forth together in the heavens.

✦ As told in scripture

Sanjaya relates that the brilliance of the Universal Form was so overwhelming that even Arjuna, the mightiest of warriors, trembled and bowed his head; the verse has since stood as the scripture's measure of divine splendour — the light of a thousand suns rising as one.
