ओंयस्याहुः सप्त च्छंदांसि रथे तिष्ठंति वाजिनः । अरुणः सारथिर्यस्य रथवाहोऽग्रतः स्थितः
oṃyasyāhuḥ sapta cchaṃdāṃsi rathe tiṣṭhaṃti vājinaḥ | aruṇaḥ sārathiryasya rathavāho'grataḥ sthitaḥ
ਓਂ। ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਸੱਤ ਵੇਦਿਕ ਛੰਦ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਰਥ ਵਿੱਚ ਘੋੜੇ ਬਣ ਕੇ ਖੜੇ ਹਨ; ਅਤੇ ਅਰੁਣ ਉਸ ਦਾ ਸਾਰਥੀ ਹੈ, ਜੋ ਅੱਗੇ ਖੜਾ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਰਥ ਦਾ ਚਾਲਕ ਹੈ।
Nārada (continuing the arghya-mantra description)
Sūrya is portrayed as the living embodiment of Vedic order; even his chariot is mapped to Vedic metres.
No location is mentioned; this is a mantra-visualization (dhyāna) of the Sun’s cosmic form.
The arghya-mantra invokes Sūrya with chariot imagery—seven chandas as horses and Aruṇa as charioteer.
