bhramanvai bhramamāṇāni ṛkṣāṇi carate raviḥ
evaṃ caturṣu pārśveṣu dakṣiṇānteṣu sarpati //

When it is midday in Dharmara'jâs city of Samyâminâ, it is dawn in the Suṣâpurî of Varuṇa. When there is midnight in Vibhâbarî, it is sunset in the city of Indra. When it is midday in the Suṣâpurî of Varuṇa, the sun rises in Vibhâbarî. When the sun rises in the Amaravati of Indra, it is midnight in the Samyamana of Dharmarâja and sunset in the city of Varuṇa. Thus, like a fiery wheel, the sun moves with great rapidity and even visits the pleiades (the Great Bear). He thus goes round the (Mânas) on four sides.—29-33.
