tapantaśca japantaśca hlādayantaśca vai prajāḥ
gopāyanti sma bhūtāni īhante hyanukampayā //

The Sun drives away all the troubles of the beings by His radiance. The sins of men are reduced to ashes by His fire. He also takes away the sins of those whose conduct is good; and they roam about in the heavens along with Him. Those Devas out of mercy, protect all the beings in their every walk of life, and make them perform asceticism, mutter japams and fill their hearts with joy. During the several manvantaras, the seats of the Abhimanî Devas are thus changed. This order is always the same; whether in the future, or in the past, or at present.—30-33.
