paribhramanti tadbaddhāś candrasūryagrahā divi
yāvattamanuparyeti dhruvaṃ ca jyotiṣāṃ gaṇaḥ //

All these stars are tied to Dhruva; and they move on propelled by the wind. The Moon and the Sun move on in the celestial firmament, prompted by currents of strong wind. They glide on tied to the Dhruva. Their motions round the pole are brought about by these ropes made of wind.—14.
