सुख-दुःखोंको भोगनेके लिये ही जीव देहादि धारण करता

English

JTarASARA said*: — The form of the glorious Hari con> taining the constellations, in the shape of a porpoise in the tail of which is attached Dhruva, is seen in heaven. As Dhruva revolves, it makes the moon, the sun and stars to revolve also, and all the planets follow in its circular path j for the sun, moon aud all the luminaries are in sooth tied to tfie polar star by aerial cords. The porpoise figure of ihe ^fcelestial sphere, which has been described by me to you, is upheld by Náráyana, who himself, the source of all radiance, is seated in its heart. And having worshipped the lord of people, Dhruva, the son of Uttánpada shines in the tail of the steller porpoise. Janardana, the lord of all, is the supporter of this porpoise-shaped sphere — and this sphere is the supporter of Dhruva ; and by Dliruva the sun is upheld. Brahman, I shall describe how this earth is upheld by the sun ; do thou listen to it attentively.

English

During eight months of the year the sun attracts th« waters of the earth, and during the remaining four months he pours them upon the earth : from rain grows corn and by corn the whole world is upheld. The sun absorbs the mois- ture of the earth by means of his scorching rays and nourishes the moon thereby. And the moon through tubes of air distributes them to the clouds which are made of smoke, fire and wind. The clouds are called Abhras because their contents are not dispersed. The waters in the clouds, being driven by the wind, and freed from impurities by the sweeten- ing process of the time, descend (upon earth), Maitreya. The glorious sun, Maitreya, exhales moisture from four sources, namely— seas, rivers, the earth and the living creatures. He immediately pours down on earth, wHhout turning it into cloud, the water that he absotbi írom thc
