Uttarā-diśā Māhātmya — Suparṇa’s Praise of the Northern Quarter
Suparṇa–Gālava Saṃvāda
अत्र पीत्वा समस्तान् वै वरुणस्य रसांस्तु षट् । जायते तरुण: सोम: शुक्लस्यादौ तमिस्रहा
atra pītvā samastān vai varuṇasya rasāṁs tu ṣaṭ | jāyate taruṇaḥ somaḥ śuklasyādau tamisrahā ||
এখানেই বরুণের ছয় প্রকার সমগ্র রস সম্পূর্ণ পান করে অন্ধকার-নাশক তরুণ সোম (চন্দ্র) শুক্লপক্ষের আদিতে নবতর হয়ে উদিত হয়।

The verse presents the waxing Moon as a symbol of lawful renewal: by receiving sustaining essences (rasas) in due order, light is restored and darkness is dispelled—an image of dharma as cyclical reestablishment of balance.
Yuparṇa describes a cosmological process: Soma (the Moon) stays near Varuṇa, drinks six kinds of essences, and then rises anew at the start of the bright fortnight, growing in brilliance as a remover of darkness.
