Uttarā-diśā Māhātmya — Suparṇa’s Praise of the Northern Quarter
Suparṇa–Gālava Saṃvāda
अतः:प्रभृति सूर्यस्य तिर्यगावर्तते गति: । अत्र ज्योतींषि सर्वाणि विशन्त्यादित्यमण्डलम्
ataḥprabhṛti sūryasya tiryagāvartate gatiḥ | atra jyotīṃṣi sarvāṇi viśanty ādityamaṇḍalam |
இங்கிருந்து சூரியனின் நடை சாய்வாகி வட்டமாய் சுழலும் பாதையாக மாறுகிறது. இங்கேயே எல்லா ஒளிகளும் ஆதித்யமண்டலத்துள் புகுகின்றன.

The verse emphasizes niyati/niyama—regulated cosmic law: the Sun and other lights follow an ordained course. By implication, dharma is aligned with order and discipline, not arbitrary action.
The speaker describes a cosmological point or region from which the Sun’s motion becomes a slanting, revolving course, and where all luminaries are said to enter the Sun’s sphere—an explanatory passage about celestial movement.
