In plain words
Supreme, preeminent, great, vast—radiance characterized by pure consciousness, illuminating all things. As the Śruti declares: 'By whose brilliance the sun shines,' 'The light of lights of the gods,' 'There the sun does not shine, nor the moon and stars'; and the Smṛti: 'The brilliance that abides in the sun.' Supreme tapas: tapas means command, as the Antaryāmi Brāhmaṇa declares: 'He who from within controls this world and the next and all beings.' And the Taittirīya says: 'Out of fear of Him the wind blows.' Or tapas means to shine and rule. His sovereignty being limitless is greatness, as the Śruti states: 'This is the lord of all.' Supreme Brahman, defined by truth and other attributes, great by virtue of being supremely venerable. Supreme, preeminent, completely free from any possibility of return to saṃsāra. Parāyaṇa is parama (supreme) and ayanam (the path)—the ultimate refuge. Because the word 'supreme' is used everywhere
