माहेयादुपरिष्टाच्च सुरेज्यो नियुतद्वये । द्विलक्षयोजनोत्सेधः सौरिर्देवपुरोहितात्
māheyādupariṣṭācca surejyo niyutadvaye | dvilakṣayojanotsedhaḥ saurirdevapurohitāt
Au-dessus de Maṅgala (Mars), à la distance de vingt mille yojanas, se tient Bṛhaspati (Surejya). Et au-dessus du prêtre des devas, Śani (Sauri) s’élève de deux lakh de yojanas.
Skanda
Listener: vipra (brāhmaṇa)
Scene: Two higher planetary spheres: Bṛhaspati as a golden, benevolent orb (guru principle) and Śani as a dark-blue, austere orb above, both set in concentric cosmic rings.
Even the powerful planetary forces are placed within a higher order, suggesting that dharma aligns one with the cosmos rather than being ruled by fear.
