Pitṛgaṇa-Vibhāga (Classification of the Pitṛs) and the Śrāddha–Soma Nourishment Cycle
ताभिः स बालार्कनिभो रौद्रः परिवृतः प्रभुः / स्निह्यमानाभिरत्यर्थं स्वकभिरिव मातृभिः
tābhiḥ sa bālārkanibho raudraḥ parivṛtaḥ prabhuḥ / snihyamānābhiratyarthaṃ svakabhiriva mātṛbhiḥ
Encircled by them, the Lord shone like the young sun, majestic in his raudra aspect; and they cherished him with boundless affection, as though they were his own mothers.
