Significado

In the Viṣṇu Purāṇa it is said:

En el Viṣṇu Purāṇa se dice:

stuvanti munayaḥ sūryaṁ
gandharvair gīyate puraḥ
nṛtyanto ’psaraso yānti
sūryasyānu niśācarāḥ

vahanti pannagā yakṣaiḥ
kriyate ’bhiṣusaṅgrahaḥ
vālikhilyās tathaivainaṁ
parivārya samāsate

so ’yaṁ sapta-gaṇaḥ sūrya-
maṇḍale muni-sattama
himoṣṇa vāri-vṛṣṭīṇāṁ
hetutve samayaṁ gataḥ

Worshiping the most powerful demigod Sūrya, the Gandharvas sing in front of him, the Apsarās dance before the chariot, the Niśācaras follow the chariot, the Pannagas decorate the chariot, the Yakṣas guard the chariot, and the saints called the Vālikhilyas surround the sun-god and offer prayers. The seven groups of fourteen associates arrange the proper times for regular snow, heat and rain throughout the universe.

Adorando al poderosísimo semidiós Sūrya, los gandharvas cantan y las apsarās danzan ante él; los niśācaras siguen su cuadriga, los pannagas la decoran, los yakṣas la protegen, y los santos vālikhiliyas rodean al dios del Sol y le ofrecen oraciones. Los siete grupos de catorce acompañantes se encargan de disponer los momentos adecuados para la nieve, el calor y la lluvia en los distintos rincones del universo.
