Shloka 3
प्राच्यां देशि सहस्रांशोररुणेनारुणीकृतम् । तपनीयं यथा चक्र भ्राजते रविमण्डलम्,प्राचीमें अरुणके द्वारा अरुण किया हुआ सूर्यदेवका मण्डल सुवर्णमय चक्रके समान सुशोभित होने लगा
prācyāṃ deśi sahasrāṃśor aruṇenāruṇīkṛtam | tapanīyaṃ yathā cakra bhrājate ravimaṇḍalam ||
Di ufuk timur, cakram Surya yang bersinar seribu sinar—memerah oleh Aruṇa—berkilau laksana roda emas murni yang dipijarkan.
