Ah. Sorry.
The word 'Brighter' messed up my searches in the past :)


Just found the Gita quote:
"If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one"

It's about three years old, and it's not a cover.


The expression itself -- brighter than a thousand suns --  it should be remembered, is cribbed from Sanskrit, no?
