sūryodayātpravartaṃte yajñādyāḥ sakalāḥ kriyāḥ | tābhiryajñabhujāṃtṛptiḥ savitā tatra kāraṇam
ນັບແຕ່ຕາເວັນຂຶ້ນ ກິດການທັງປວງ—ເລີ່ມດ້ວຍຍັດຍະ—ຈຶ່ງເລີ່ມດໍາເນີນ. ໂດຍພິທີເຫຼົ່ານັ້ນ ເທວະຜູ້ເສວຍສ່ວນຍັດຍະຍ່ອມອິ່ມໃຈ; ໃນຂໍ້ນີ້ ສະວິຕຣ (ຕາເວັນ) ແມ່ນເຫດປັດສິນ.
Skanda (deduced, Kāśī-khaṇḍa context)
Scene: At dawn, the Sun rises over the Gaṅgā at Kāśī; priests begin yajña and morning rites, while devas receive oblations—Savitṛ depicted as the hidden mover of all activity.
Dharma and ritual life are anchored in sacred time; the Sun enables and legitimizes the rhythm of righteous action.
The broader teaching belongs to Kāśī-khaṇḍa (Varanasi/Kashi), framing cosmic order as part of Kāśī’s sacred worldview, though no single tirtha is named in this verse.
That yajña and allied rites are to be undertaken from sunrise onward—highlighting sunrise as the proper ritual commencement.
