अतश्रोद्यन्तमादित्यमुपतिष्ठन्ति वै प्रजा: । ऋषयश्नापि धर्मज्ञा: सिद्धा: साध्याश्व देवता:
ataś chrodyantam ādityam upatiṣṭhanti vai prajāḥ | ṛṣayaś cāpi dharmajñāḥ siddhāḥ sādhyāś ca devatāḥ ||
ولذلك فإن جميع الكائنات تُقيم العبادة للشمس عند طلوعها. وكذلك يقف الرُّشاة العارفون بالدارما، والسِّدّهات الكاملون، وآلهة السادهيا في حضورٍ مهيب؛ تأكيدًا على أن بزوغ الشمس كل يوم مناسبةٌ مقدّسة تُقيم النظام وتدعو إلى الانضباط والاستقامة.
