Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 483. Sahasra-amsuh -The thousand-rayed. As the Pure Consciousness, He is effulgent, and in the Upanishads we read that even the sun, moon and stars gain their effulgence from Him alone. In fact the Upanishads conclude that all living creatures are resplendent after His effulgence alone. Or, we can say that it means Sri Narayana, in the form of the Sun, illumines and nourishes the world of living creatures; because the name of the Sun in Sanskrit is `Sahasraamsuh.' In praising the Lord Sun it is usual to sing of him as `Sooryanaaraayana.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
