Pramlocā and Anumlocā are renowned by these very names, and together with their companions, they dwell in the radiant domain of the sun, belonging to the vast expanse of the sky and the celestial regions. Among this distinguished assembly are Parjanya, Pūṣā, Bhāradvāja, and Gautama, each revered in their own right. Viśvācī and Ghṛtācī, adorned with auspicious marks, are also counted among them. There, too, are Ścenajit, Suṣeṇa, Senī, and Grāmaṇī, all residing within the sun’s brilliance, especially during the sacred months of Āśvina and Kārtika. Alongside them are Aṃśa and Bhaga, as well as the venerable Kaśyapa and Kratu. The Gandharva Citrāsena and Ūrṇāyu are present, as are Tārkṣa and Ariṣṭanemi, Senānī and Grāmaṇī. Sahe and Sahasya, too, have their place in this solar assembly. Tvaṣṭā, Viṣṇu, Jāmadagnya, and Viśvāmitra are included among these illustrious beings, joined by the Gandharva Dhṛtarāṣṭra and the radiant Sūryavarcas. Yajñāpetam and Viśyāta, the foremost among Rākṣasas, are also present. The eminent sages Tapas and Tapasyā dwell in the sun’s realm as well. It is Savitar, the divine inspirer, who causes the turning of day and night, O twice-born. Within the sun’s sphere are twelve and seven groups, each presiding over their own domain. The sages praise the sun with verses of their own composition, glorifying his splendor. Those who are Grāmaṇī, Yakṣa, and Bhūta assemble to collect the offerings, while the Vālakhilyas surround the sun at both its rising and its setting. All these beings act according to righteousness, propriety, truth, and strength, taking their places in the sun, two by two months at a time. Alongside them are the Grāmaṇyas, Yakṣas, and the chief Yātudhānas. It is declared that these beings remove the inauspicious deeds of living creatures, dispelling misfortune for those who act with virtue, both here and elsewhere. They bring rain, warmth, and delight to all creatures, fulfilling their needs. This is the station of those proud of their place in the great cycles of time, the Manvantaras. All these groups exist here throughout the fourteen Manvantaras. The sun himself moves according to the seasons, his rays revolving, nourishing gods, ancestors, and humans alike. In the bright fortnight, on the full day, the gods drink the sun’s essence in due order; during the dark fortnight, the ancestors partake of this nectar, as do the gentle gods and the Kāvyas. Mortals, nourished by rain and herbs, overcome hunger with food and drink, all sustained by the sun’s continual gift of nourishment, warmth, and the bounty of cows. At the time of release, Savitā again supports all that moves and does not move, maintaining the world’s order. Then, he releases them, that Hari, drawn by swift horses. With auspicious, unblemished steeds, the movement of the Vedas is accomplished. Harnessed to seven horses, he traverses the seven continents and oceans. These horses, capable of taking any form at will and swift as the mind, are yoked instantly on the left side. They circle eighty-three hundred orbs in the course of a year. At the beginning of creation, thus harnessed, they carry the sun until the great dissolution. Throughout, the sun is ever praised by the great sages with excellent and well-composed words, honored for his ceaseless journey and his sustaining power.
