vāyur anilam amṛtam athedaṃ bhasmāntaṃ śarīram |
oṃ krato smara kṛtaṃ smara krato smara kṛtaṃ smara ||

Pūṣan, O Sun! The sun is the pūṣā, nourisher, because he nourishes the world. Similarly he travels alone (ekarṣat); hence he is ekarṣi. Ekarṣe, O solitary traveller. So also he is yama, controller, because of controlling (saṁyamanāt) all; O controller. Likewise he is sūrya, acquirer, because of securing to himself (svīkaraṇāt) all rays, vital forces, and liquids; O acquirer. The son of Prajāpati is prājāpatya; O son of Prajāpati. Vyūha, remove; thy own raśmīn, rays; samūha, gather up, withdraw; thy tejaḥ, heat, the oppressing dazzle. Yat te, that which is thy; rūpam kalyāṇatamam, most benign, most graceful, form; tat, that; paśyāmi, I shall see; by te, thy—thy grace, who art the Self. Moreover, I do not entreat thee like a servant; yaḥ asau, the Person who is there, in the solar orb—whose limbs are the vyāhṛtis,footnote{Bhūḥ (earth) is his head; Bhuvaḥ (sky) his hands; svaḥ (heaven) his legs (Bṛ. V.v. 3-4, Tai. I. v-vı, f.n., p. 254).} and who is called a Person (Puruṣa) because he has the figure of a person; or because by him, in the form of the vital forces and intelligence, the whole world is filled; or because he resides in the city (of the heart)—saḥ aham asmi, that Person am I.
