Sūta said:: Lord Savitṛ (sun) who directly blazes with his rays, is very important in this world on account of his superior and unlimited strength and brilliance. It is Savitṛ who illuminates this universe that had been devoid of light. O Brāhmaṇas, the exterior of Lokāloka is enveloped in darkness. The proof for this has been fully stated by me factually O excellent Brāhmaṇas. This had been heard by me from the holy noble-souled lord Vyāsa, the son of Parāśara. Formerly, this had been narrated by Sanatkumāra as well as Vāyu. After reflecting deeply, this has been recounted by others too in different ways.
