just as the sun, the blessed lord of splendors, mounts his chariot. / Having mounted that chariot, that son of Diti shone / like a sapphire placed upon a golden vessel. / The crown set upon his head shone with very great brilliance, / like a forest fire resting on the peak of a collyrium mountain. / The Daitya urged his charioteer toward departure. / At his side, O Vyāsa, stood Vipracitti, / standing like a counter-banner facing a banner in the sky.
