Educational Q&A
The verse presents the Sun’s regular, beneficent functioning—giving rain, wind, and warmth to sustain all life and then returning to his ordained path—as an image of dharma: performing one’s role steadily for the welfare of the world, without excess or neglect.
Vaiśaṃpāyana describes the Sun’s life-supporting activity: through rain, wind, and heat he causes both immobile and mobile beings to flourish, and afterward he returns to his proper station/course, emphasizing the cyclical order of the cosmos.
