Verily, they who sit (sacrificing) for a year, by means of six months go to him that burns yonder: so it is told on the part of the Sâman, in as much as it is made of the form of that (sun) it is told on the part of the Rik; and now in like manner on the part of the Yagus, by means of preparatory rite, when they draw that (graha), they thereby also go to him (the sun).
4.6.2.2
athāto gṛhṇātyeva | udu tyaṃ jātavedasaṃ devaṃ vahanti ketavaḥ dṛśe viśvāya sūryam upayāmagṛhīto 'si sūryāya tvā bhrājāyaiṣa te yoniḥ sūryāya tvā bhrājāyeti
He thus takes it therefrom with (Vâg. S. VIII, 41; Rig-veda I, 50, 1), 'The lights bear on high that divine knower of beings, Sûrya, that all may see him!--Thou art drawn with a support: thee to Sûrya nor splendour!--This is thy womb: thee to Sûrya for splendour!'
