Adhyaya 77 — Sanjna’s Withdrawal from Surya: The Birth of Yama and Yamuna, and the Emergence of Chhaya
सूर्यतापमनिच्छन्ती तेजसस्तस्य बिभ्यती ।
तपश्चचारा तत्रापि वडवारूपधारिणी ॥
sūryatāpam anicchantī tejasas tasya bibhyatī / tapaś cacāra tatrāpi vaḍavārūpadhāriṇī
سورج کی جھلسا دینے والی گرمی کو ناپسند کرتے ہوئے اور اس کے نور و تجلی سے خوف زدہ ہو کر، اس نے وہاں بھی ریاضت کی—گھوڑی کی صورت اختیار کر کے۔

Even divine brilliance can be unbearable without right ‘capacity’; one may need discipline (tapas) and adaptation to relate to overwhelming power.
Mythic biography (vaṃśānucarita-like) connected to solar mythology; not a direct manvantara or sarga passage.
Sūrya’s tejas can symbolize intense spiritual realization; the mare-form suggests a protective embodiment—channeling and containing energy so austerity can proceed without being ‘burned’ by excess.
