Sūta said: The following reside in the sun during the months of Śiśira (late winter). They are (gods) Tvaṣṭṛ, Viṣṇu (sages) Jāmadagnya, Viśvāmitra; the two serpents Kambala and Aśvatara who are the sons of Kadru; the two Gandharvas Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Sūryavarcas; (the two celestial damsels) Tilottamā and Rambhā; the demon Brahmāpeta and the other well-known demon Yajñāpeta, and Ṛtajit and Satyajit who are cited as Gandharvas (rather Yakṣas)—all these, O excellent sages, reside in the sun during the months of Tapas and Tapasya (Māgha and Phālguna.)
