FAQs
The verse describes Sūrya (Divākara), the Sun-god, using epithets such as witness of the worlds, lord of the sky, and the one whose chariot is drawn by seven horses.
It is a classic Purāṇic image of Sūrya, often interpreted as the Sun’s cosmic movement and the ordered rhythm of time (commonly linked with seven rays, seven days, or seven meters depending on tradition).
By portraying the Sun as “witness of the worlds,” it reinforces the idea of cosmic accountability: actions occur under an all-seeing order (ṛta/dharma), encouraging truthful and dharmic conduct.
