ye naikarūpāścādhastādraśmayo'sya mṛduprabhāḥ |
iha karmopabhogāya taiḥ saṃsarati so'vaṣaḥ |
tasmātsargasvargāpavargaheturbhagavānasāvāditya iti ||
But by its feebly shining rays
Which manifoldly downward lead
One roams about here helplessly
For the consuming of his deeds.
Therefore yonder blessed sun is the cause of creation (*sarga*), of heaven (*svarga*), and of final emancipation (*apavarga*).
