यदादित्यगतं तेजो जगद्भासयतेऽखिलम् । यच्चन्द्रमसि यच्चाग्नौ तत्तेजो विद्धि मामकम् ॥ १२ ॥
yad āditya-gataṁ tejo jagad bhāsayate ’khilam yach chandramasi yach chāgnau tat tejo viddhi māmakam
Translation
The brilliance in the sun that lights up the whole world, and the light in the moon and in fire: know that light to be Mine.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
जो तेज सूर्य में स्थित होकर सम्पूर्ण जगत को प्रकाशित करता है, और जो तेज चंद्रमा में तथा अग्नि में है, उस तेज को तुम मेरा ही जानो।
Commentary
Verses 12–15 describe how God sustains the world from moment to moment. First, light: the sun, moon and fire, which in verse 6 could not light the supreme abode, turn out to shine with God's own brilliance. This returns to 7.8 and 10.21, where Krishna names himself as the light of the sun and moon.
