156 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 9, Ch. 5
of learned persons or great souls is manifested. Indeed, no one can
surpass your effulgence, for all things, manifested and un-
manifested, gross and subtle, superior and inferior, are but
various forms of you that are manifested by your effulgence.
PURPORT
Without illumination, nothing can be seen, especially in this material
world. The illumination in this world emanates from the effulgence of
Sudarsana, the original vision of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
The illuminating principles of the sun, the moon and fire emanate from
Sudarsana. Similarly, illumination by knowledge also comes from
Sudarsana because with the illumination of Sudarsana one can dis-
tinguish one thing from another, the superior from the inferior.
Generally people accept a powerful yogi like Durvasé Muni as wonder-
fully superior, but if such a person is chased by the Sudarsana cakra, we
can see his real identity and understand how inferior he is because of his
dealings with devotees.
