SrI:
 
In the first anuvAkam , JalAbhimAna
dEvathais , Sarasvati and other dEvataas
were saluted . These vandhanams are to be
considered as Vandhanams for Lord Soorya
Himself , since the theertams , Oshadhis
(Medicinal plants) become powerful thru
the sambhandham with Sun's rays .Thus
Sooryan is their life giver .
 
Second AnuvAkam ( MantrAs 4-7)
 
Mantram # 4
 
smruti: pratyaksha-maitihyam
anumAna-scchatushtayam
yEtai-rAditya maNDalam
sarvairEvavidhAsyatE
SooryO MareechimaadattE
sarvasmAdh bhuvanaadadhi
tasyA: paakaviSEshENa
smrutam kaala viSEshaNam
nadheeva prabhavAt kaachit
akshayaat syandhatE yathaa
 
(Meaning): The soorya MaNDalam
can be truly comprehended only with
the help/use of all the following
four means:
 
(1) Smruti:This is the dharma sAstram
folowing Maharishi's instructions based
on the Vedams .
 
(2) Pratyaksham: The evidence cognized
by the senses directly .
 
(3) Itihiyam: the story of the ancient ones
such as ItihAsam .
 
(4) anumAnam: Inference thru anubhavam.
 
chatushtyam sarvairEva yEtairAditya
maNDalam vidhAsyatE =With the help of
all these four , the orbit of the Sun is
understood in its true nature .
 
sarvasmAt bhuvanAtadhi Soorya: Mareechim
AadattE = Above all the universe, Sooryan
is resplendent with His rays.
 
TasyA: paaka viSEshENa kaala viSEshaNam
smrutam = Through the heat of those rays ,
objects are perfected ( ripened) and changed.
The course of time ( kaala viSEshaNam) is
understood thru the changes brought about
by the heat of those rays of Sooryan
( TasyA: paaka viSEshENa Kaala
ViSEshaNam smrutam).
 
Kaachit nadhee akshayaat prabhavAt 
yathaa syandatEiva=Similar to some
river flowing from a never drying source ,
the river named Kaalam ( Time) flows
from  Soorya NaarAyaNan . Kaala
PravAham is linked thus directly to
the hot rays ( mareechi) of the Sun .
 
In the next mantram of the second
anuvAkam , the passage of time thru
its many units like second , minute ,
hour ,day , month leading upto the year
is described .Sooryan is pointed out and
saluted as the atidEvatai for the river
Kaalam .
 
( To Be continued).
