विवस्वान् श्रावणे मासि प्रौष्ठपदे भगः स्मृतः पर्जन्यो ऽश्वयुजे मासि त्वष्टा वै कार्तिके रविः
vivasvān śrāvaṇe māsi prauṣṭhapade bhagaḥ smṛtaḥ parjanyo 'śvayuje māsi tvaṣṭā vai kārtike raviḥ
シュラーヴァナ月には太陽はヴィヴァスヴァーン(Vivasvān)として知られる。プラウシュタパダ月にはバガ(Bhaga)として想起される。アーシュヴァユジャ月にはパルジャニヤ(Parjanya)となり、カールティカ月には太陽はまさしくトヴァシュトリ(Tvaṣṭṛ)である。
Suta Goswami (narrating to the sages at Naimisharanya)
It maps the Sun’s monthly epithets, showing how kāla (time) and devatā-functions are ordered; in Linga worship this supports the Shaiva view that all time-bound powers operate under the higher Lord (Pati), Shiva, to whom the Linga is the supreme focus.
Indirectly: by listing changing solar names and functions across months, it highlights that such devatā-forms are mutable within prakṛti and kāla, whereas Shiva-tattva is the unchanging Pati who transcends and governs these cosmic operations.
A calendrical (māsa) devatā-association useful for timing vrata, homa, and pūjā; yogically it points to disciplining practice in harmony with kāla while aiming beyond kāla through Pāśupata-oriented Shiva-upāsanā.
