In plain words
And there is more —
Crowned — you wear that particular ornament of the head, and so you are called the crowned one. You bear a mace, and so you are the mace-bearer; you bear a discus, and so you are the disc-bearer. You are a mass of splendor, a sheer heap of light, blazing on every side — that is what I see. And you are hard to look upon: painful to the eyes, blazing all around, everywhere, with a brilliance like fire and the sun fused together and set ablaze. That is your splendor, and it is beyond measuring, beyond any way of taking its bounds — that is simply what this means.
