Sūrya is Indra.

Into the seasons, indeed, he enters—into the year, the heavenly world—he who performs the four-month seasonal sacrifices.
He enters spring by the first day, summer by the second, the rains by the third, autumn by the fourth,
winter by the fifth, and the cool season by the sixth.
He enters the year itself by the Śunāsīrya rite.
It is an all-stoma [rite].
For all is that which is an all-stoma [rite].
He enters everything by this.
His porcupine quill has three white marks; his razor is of iron.
Every four months he shaves his hair for endlessness. Yonder Āditya is endless.
Having become endless, yonder [sun] pervades all this. [Thinking:] 'Having become endless, I shall pervade all this;
having become endless, I shall pervade all this.'

departed to the heavenly world having done good deeds, leaving [the two] behind.
