Held by Dhruva, those two rays lead the Sun.
तदा सो ऽभ्यन्तरे सूर्यो भ्रमते मण्डलानि तु
Then, within them, the Sun moves, forming circles.
ध्रुवेण मुच्यमानाभ्यां रश्मिभ्यां पुनरेव तु
When released by Dhruva, by those two rays again,
उद्वेषाटयन्स वेगेन मण्डलानि तु गच्छति
He moves rapidly, traversing the circles with force.
