The child was born a boy, with a splendour like the blazing orb of light, illuminating all the regions of the sky with his own lustre like the sun. Because he shines with his own lustre,[1] like the sun, the boy became therefore famed by the appropriate name Svarocis. And the noble boy grew day by day in age and with a multitude of good qualities, just as the new moon increases with its daily increments; he acquired skill in archery, and learnt the Vedas in due order and the sciences; then the noble boy entered on the period of early manhood.
