ਹੇ ਸੂਰਯ, ਤੂੰ ਉਦਯ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਵਿਸ਼ਾਲ ਖੇਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਵਿਹਰਦਾ ਹੈਂ; ਰਾਤ-ਦਿਨਾਂ (ਅਕਤੁਭਿਃ) ਨਾਲ ਆਪਣਾ ਮਾਰਗ ਮਾਪਦਾ, ਸਭ ਜੀਵਾਂ ਦੇ ਜਨਮਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਅਵਸਥਾਵਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਿਹਾਰਦਾ ਹੈਂ।

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa glosses mimānaḥ as parimimīte—Sūrya measures out time/space; aktú indicates night/day divisions; janmāni are prāṇināṃ utpattayaḥ—origins/conditions of creatures, which the sun ‘sees’.", "ritual_interpretation": "Supports correct temporal ordering of the Soma rite; invokes the sun as measurer and witness of the ritual’s unfolding.", "theological_insight": "Solar intelligence is the cosmic metric: time is not arbitrary but measured by divine order; seeing (paśyan) includes knowing births and states.", "etymology_highlights": "mimāna (from √mā ‘to measure’); aktú (‘night’, extension to diurnal cycle); janman (‘birth’, ‘state of being’)." }
