COMMENTARY BY SRIMAT SWAMI CHIDBHAVANANDA:

The manifest aspect of Iswara is finite compare with His unmanifest infinitude. But even this seemingly finite aspect expands into infinitude to the inquirer who seeks to probe into it. The stupendousness of the solar systems or of the stellar systems, the subtlety in the structure of the atom receding into infinitude—these are sufficient data to make man stand aghast at the structure of the universe which is ever available for observation.

COMMENTARY BY SRIMAT SWAMI SIVANANDA:

Adityas, Vasus, Rudras and Maruts have already been described in the previous chapter.

Not these alone! Behold also many other wonders never seen before by you or anybody else in this world.
