Āścarya-kathana: Brāhmaṇa–Nāga Dialogue on Sūrya (Vivasvat) and the ‘Second Sun’ Phenomenon
ततो ज्येषछ्े तु दौहित्रे प्रादाद् दक्षो नृपोत्तम । आदित्ये सवितुर्ज्येछ्ले विवस्वाउ्जगृहे तत:
tato jyeṣṭhe tu dauhitrē prādād dakṣo nṛpottama | āditye savitur jyeṣṭhe vivasvān jagṛhe tataḥ ||
ついで、王の中の最勝者よ、ダクシャはこのダルマの教えを、自らの長孫—サヴィトリの長子アーディティヤ—に授けた。さらにその者から、ヴィヴァスヴァーン（太陽神）はこの教説を受け取り、学び得たのである。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharma as a preserved and authoritative teaching transmitted through a venerable lineage. Ethical instruction is portrayed as something to be received from qualified elders and passed onward intact, reinforcing continuity and legitimacy.
Vaiśampāyana narrates a succession of instruction: Dakṣa imparts the doctrine of dharma to his eldest grandson Āditya (associated with Savitṛ), and from Āditya the Sun-god Vivasvān receives that teaching.
