1.8

viśvarūpaṃ hariṇaṃ jātavedasaṃ parāyaṇaṃ jyotirekaṃ tapantam
sahasraraśmiḥ śatadhā vartamānaḥ prāṇaḥ prajānāmudayatyeṣa sūryaḥ

8. [. . . Him] who has all forms, the golden one, all-knowing,
The final goal, the only light, heat-giving.
The thousand-rayed, the hundredfold revolving,
Yon sun arises as the life of creatures.

1.8.p1

saṃvatsaro vaiprajāpatistasyāyane dakṣiṇaṃ cottaraṃ ca

9. The year, verily, is Lord of Creation (Prajāpati). This has two paths, the Southern and the Northern.

1.8.p2

tadyeha vaitadiṣṭāpūrte kṛtamityupāsate

Now, those, verily, indeed, who worship, thinking "Sacrifice and merit are our work (*kṛta*)!"—they win only the lunar world. They, indeed, return hither again. Therefore those seers (*ṛṣi*) who are desirous of offspring go the Southern course. This matter (*rayi*) verily it is, that leads to the fathers (*pitṛyāṇa*).
