Adhyaya 43 — The Sun's Course
अरश्मिबिम्बं सूर्यस्य वह्निं चैवांशुमालिनम् ।
दृष्ट्वैकादशमासात् तु नरो नोर्धन्तु जीवति ॥
araśmi-bimbaṃ sūryasya vahniṃ caivāṃśu-mālinam /
dṛṣṭvā ekādaśa-māsāt tu naro nordhvaṃ tu jīvati //
जर एखादा पुरुष सूर्यबिंब किरणरहित आणि अग्नी तेजहीन असा पाहील, तर ते दृश्य पाहिल्यावर तो अकरा महिन्यांपलीकडे जगत नाही।
