English Translation of Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Shankaracharya's
13.34 Yatha, as; ekam, the one; ravih, sun; prakasayati, illumines; imam, this; krtsnam, whole; lokam, world tatha, similarly;-who?-ksetri, the Knower of the field, i.e. the supreme Self, though one; prakasayati, illumines; krtsnam, the whole; ksetram, field, from the great elements to fortitude (cf. 5-6).
Here the illustration of the sun serves to highlight two aspects of the Self, viz that, like the sun, the Self is one in all the fields, and that It remains unaffected.
This verse is meant for summarizing the idea of the whole of this chapter:


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
13.31-34 Yada etc.  upto na upalipyate.  When  [a man of  Yoga] perceives the mutual difference i.e.,  separateness of all beings  (all mutually different beings) in the very Self  on account of Its all pervasive nature and realises the said difference as having sprung up from the Self alone - even then he does not get any stain.  For [in that case]  he would be the creator  (or performer) of all.  For, he is none but the  Supreme Self; and though residing in the body, he is not stained just as the Eather is  [not stained].


English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary
13.34 As the one sun illumines all this world by his radiance, so the knower of the body illumines the entire Ksetra, i.e., the body, by Its own knowledge, within and without and from head to toe, by conceiving This my body is of this nature. This self of the said nature is totally different from the body, because It is the knower of the body. The body is the object of Its knowledge and is therefore different from It, even as the illuminating sun is totally different from the illumined world.
