atha ye ’syodañco raśmayas tā evāsyodīcyo madhunāḍyaḥ |

itihāsapurāṇaṃ puṣpam |
tā amṛtā āpaḥ ||

1. FOURTH KHANDA
The northern rays of the sun are the honeycells on the left. The (hymns of the) Atharvangiras are the bees, the Itihasa-purana (the reading of the old stories) is the flower, the water is the nectar.

te vā ete ’tharvāṅgirasa etad itihāsapūrāṇam abhyatapan |
tasyābhitaptasya yaśas teja indriyāṃ vīryam annādyaṃ raso ’jāyata ||

2. Those very hymns of the Atharvahgiras (as bees) brooded over the Itihasa-purana; and from it, thus brooded on, sprang as its (nectar) essence, fame, glory of countenance, vigour, strength, and health.

tad vyakṣarat |
tad ādityam abhito ’śrayat |
tad vā etad yad etad ādityasya paraḥkṛṣṇaṃ rūpam ||

3. That flowed forth, and went towards the sun. And that forms what we call the extreme dark (parah krishnam) light of the sun.
