Bright with the light that penance gives:

Sávarṇi[732] is he named, renowned

As Brahmá's peer, with glory crowned.

There bowing down in reverence speak

And ask him of the dame you seek.

Thus far the splendid Lord of Day

Pursues through heaven his ceaseless way,

Shedding on every spot his light;

Then sinks behind Mount Asta's height,

Thus far advance: the sunless sea
