Commentary
It is impossible for anyone to describe or know the exact extent of the divine gloreis of the Lord. There is no limit to His powers or glories. What could be expressed of Him is nothing when compared to His infinte glories. Parantapa Scorcher of foes -- he who burns the internal enemies; lust; anger; greed; deluion; etc.
