विश्वरूपं हरिणं जातवेदसं

“‘Fire is this burning and radiant Sun, he is the One lustre and all-knowing Light, he is the highest heaven of spirits. With a thousand rays he burneth and existeth in a hundred existences; lo this Sun that riseth, he is the Life of all his creatures.’

Sri Aurobindo · CWSA 18, p. 177
