The Cāturmāsya Observances and the Sleeping–Awakening Cycle of the Gods (Hari–Hara Worship)
आरोपितो भृमितलाद् भवेन भूयो ऽपि भानुः प्रतिभासनाय स्वयंभुवा चापि निशाचरेन्द्रस् त्वारोपितः खे सपुरः सबन्धुः
āropito bhṛmitalād bhavena bhūyo 'pi bhānuḥ pratibhāsanāya svayaṃbhuvā cāpi niśācarendras tvāropitaḥ khe sapuraḥ sabandhuḥ
Alors Bhava (Śiva) releva Bhānu (le Soleil) de la surface de la terre afin qu’il resplendît de nouveau. Et Svayambhū (Brahmā) éleva aussi dans le ciel le seigneur des rôdeurs nocturnes (Asuras/Rākṣasas), avec sa cité et ses proches.

Even when divine power disciplines disruptive forces, the purpose is restoration of dharma and cosmic functioning (the Sun’s shining). The gods act in complementary roles: Śiva restrains and reinstates; Brahmā repositions beings within the cosmic order.
Primarily Vamśānucarita/Itihāsa-type episodic narration about devas and asuras; it also reflects Sarga/Pratisarga-style cosmological maintenance—re-establishing celestial stations (Sūrya in the sky).
Raising Sūrya ‘to shine again’ symbolizes reawakening of discernment and lawful order after a crisis. The relocation of the niśācara-king ‘with city and kin’ suggests that destructive tendencies are not always annihilated but relocated/contained within boundaries set by cosmic intelligence.
