Bhagavatam 12.11.35 names Mitra, Atri, Pauruṣeya, Takṣaka, Menakā, Hahā, and Rathasvana as the attendants who preside with the Sun during the month Śukra.
In Canto 12, Chapter 11, Śukadeva explains that time is administered through divine agents; the monthly course of the Sun is accompanied by specific devas, sages, Gandharvas, Apsarās, and Nāgas, showing that cosmic order is personally governed.
It encourages seeing time as sacred and purposeful—governed by dharma and divine order—prompting disciplined living, gratitude, and devotional remembrance as days and months pass.
