Shloka 12
पुरा मध्याह्नलसमये लोकांस्तपति भास्करे | प्रत्यादित्यप्रतीकाश: सर्वतः समदृश्यत
purā madhyāhna-lasamaye lokāṁs tapati bhāskare | pratyāditya-pratīkāśaḥ sarvataḥ samadṛśyata ||
पूर्वीच्या काळी—मध्याह्नाच्या शिथिल वेळी भास्कर सर्व लोकांना तापवीत असता, दुसऱ्या सूर्याप्रमाणे तेजस्वी असा एक पुरुष प्रकट झाला; तो सर्व दिशांनी समान तेजाने प्रकाशित दिसत होता.
