हेमन्तवर्णनम् तथा भरतधर्मनिष्ठा-चिन्तनम्
Winter Description and Reflection on Bharata’s Devotion
मयूखैरुपसर्पद्भिर्हिमनीहारसंवृतैः।दूरमभ्युदितस्सूर्यश्शशाङ्क इव लक्ष्यते।।।।
mayūkhair upasarpadbhir himanīhārasaṃvṛtaiḥ | dūram abhyuditaḥ sūryaḥ śaśāṅka iva lakṣyate ||
سورج جو افق پر بہت دور طلوع ہوا ہے، اس کی پھیلتی ہوئی کرنیں جب پالا اور شبنم کی تہہ میں لپٹ جاتی ہیں تو وہ چاند کی مانند دکھائی دیتا ہے۔
The heat of the Sun which we do not feel in the forenoon is comfortable during mid-day when the Sun shines slightly reddish white on earth.
It implies discernment (viveka): appearances can mislead (sun seeming like moon), so dharma requires careful perception before judgment.
Dawn in winter: the distant sun is visually softened by frost and mist, altering its appearance.
Discernment and contemplative observation.
