Sukta 1.115
तन्मित्रस्य वरुणस्याभिचक्षे सूर्यो रूपं कृणुते द्योरुपस्थे । अनन्तमन्यद्रुशदस्य पाजः कृष्णमन्यद्धरितः सं भरन्ति ॥
tán mitrásya váruṇasyābhicákṣe sū́ryo rū́paṃ kṛṇute dyór upásthe | anántam anyád rúśad asya pā́jaḥ kṛ́ṣṇam anyád dharítaḥ sáṃ bharanti ||
In the overseeing gaze of Mitra and Varuṇa, Sūrya forms his beauty in the lap of Heaven. One aspect of his force is boundless and shining; another is dark—these the Harits gather together. Thus the illuminer holds both the infinite radiance and the needed shadow, so that consciousness may grow by contrast and by ordered totality.
