Dear VedhAbhimAnis:
 
45th Mantram Introduction
 
Another beautiful visualization takes place in this mantram . The day and night are visualized as Dampathis ; Agni and Sooryan are visualized as their children and the two are conencted to 
sandhyA vandhana mantrams indirectly.  
 
At the end of rAtri , dawn( ushat kAalam) arrives and SooryOdhayam takes place. Sooryan is therefore visualized as the calf of night and is recognized as SvEta Aadhityan.The Rg veda mantrams known as Ushas Sooktam are beautiful to listen to . The appearnace of Dawan in Her splendour is visualized in this sookti.   
At the end of the day as Saayam sandhyA sets in , Agni in the form of Lamp is lit. Therefore Agni is visualized as the calf of the day. It is hence , during morning SandhyA , we use the mantram starting with "Sooryasccha
maa manyusccha manyu krutEbhya:" and in the Saayam sandhyA worship , we use the Mantram starting with "Agnisccha maa manyusccha manupatayasyaccha amnyukrutEbhya:" These are the PrASana mantrams used in the SandhyA vandhanams.
