COMMENTARY BY SRIMAT SWAMI CHIDBHAVANANDA:

The splendours in Nature are a verily the attributes of Iswara. It is impossible for Iswara Himself to recount them all. A few specimens only can be mentioned; His infinitude may be inferred from them.

SRIMAT SWAMI RAMAKRISHNA AS QUOTED BY SRIMAT SWAMI CHIDBHAVANANDA:

To define God from scriptural knowledge is like defining the holy city of Barnaras after getting an idea of it from the map.

COMMENTARY BY SRIMAT SWAMI SIVANANDA:

Now I will tell you of My most prominent divine glories. My glories are illimitable; it is not possible to describe all of them.
