"Great radiance" is the sun; "remaining glow" refers to the stars, moon, and so forth. The sun illustrates the Tathāgata, the moon illustrates the bodhisattvas, and the stars and so forth illustrate the remaining sentient beings. Properly taking eclipse and overshadowing as the meaning of majesty, the bodhisattvas’ inability to fathom \[him\] is also the meaning of majesty. As for saying "the blazing sun's illumination is difficult to fathom to its limits": this is the verse by the Bodhisattva Vijayavana in the Yāma assembly: "Like in the first summer month, / The sky is pure without clouds or haze. / The blazing sun radiates its brilliance, / There is nowhere in the ten directions it does not fill. / Its light has no limit, / None is able to measure or know it; / Even for those with eyes this is still so, / How much more so for the blind and dark? / All buddhas are also like this, / Their merits are boundless; / Throughout inconceivable kalpas, / None can distinguish and know them."
