Devata: Sūrya (as eye of truth) and the cosmic wheel of ṛta
Chandas: Triṣṭubh

सनेमि चक्रमजरं वि वावृत उत्तानायां दश युक्ता वहन्ति । सूर्यस्य चक्षू रजसैत्यावृतं तस्मिन्नार्पिता भुवनानि विश्वा ॥

sanémi cákram ajáraṁ ví vāvṛta uttānā́yāṁ dáśa yuktā́ vahanti | sū́ryasya cákṣū rájasā́ity ā́vṛtaṁ tásminn ārpitā́ bhúvanāni víśvā ||

అజర పరిధి గల, వృద్ధాప్యరహితమైన ఆ చక్రం విప్పబడి తిరుగుతుంది; విస్తారమైన తలంపై యుక్తమైన పది శక్తులు దానిని వహిస్తాయి. సూర్యుని చక్షువు రజస్ (దీప్తిమయ అంతరిక్షం) చేత ఆవరించబడి సంచరిస్తుంది; అందులోనే సమస్త భువనాలు దృఢంగా ప్రతిష్ఠితమై ఉన్నాయి.
