Adhyaya 78 — Hymn to Surya and the Distribution of Solar Splendour; Genealogy of Vaivasvata and Chaya’s Line
शर्वरीहेतवे चैव सन्ध्याज्योत्स्नाकृते नमः । त्वं सर्वमेतद् भगवन् जगदुद्भ्रमता त्वया ॥
śarvarīhetave caiva sandhyājyotsnākṛte namaḥ / tvaṃ sarvametad bhagavan jagadudbhramatā tvayā
ৰাত্ৰিৰ কাৰণৰূপ আপোনাক নমস্কাৰ; সন্ধ্যা আৰু চন্দ্ৰপ্ৰভা আনয়নকাৰিণীক নমস্কাৰ। হে ভগৱন, এই সকলো আপুনি; আপোনাৰ দ্বাৰাই বিশ্ব ঘূৰি থাকিলেও নিজৰ গতিত ধাৰিত থাকে।

The verse sacralizes time itself—day, night, and their transitions—encouraging mindfulness at ‘junctions’ (sandhyā) traditionally marked by prayer and restraint.
Relates to Sarga/maintenance as it describes cosmic functioning through time-cycles; still embedded in stuti rather than narrative lists of creation.
Sandhyā signifies liminality: the inward turn between outward activities. Moonlight can indicate reflected consciousness (mind), while the Sun indicates direct illumination—both governed by the same supreme principle.
