stanzas 482-491), for explanation and examples; cf. also stanza 86, note
4; Candikataka, stanza 62, note 2; and Introd., p. 93. 2. Siva is called
the 'Foe of Dakşa,' since he interrupted Dakşa's sacrifice, and pierced the
embodied Sacrifice with his arrow; cf. Mahābhārata, 10. 18. 13; 13. 161.
10-24; Bhagavata Purana, 42-6 (Dutt, vol. 1, book 4, p. 6-25); Väyn

Ravi¹ (Sürya), at his rising, is worthy of being adored by the
universe, and [unto him], at dawn, hymns of praise are
begun;
[He is praised] by the Siddhas, with various canonical texts³;
by the gods, with performance of ceremonial rites*;
By the Caraṇas," with full measure of flattery; by the foremost
of the Gandharvas,' with song; by the Lords of the Serpents,
again and again;
By the Yātudhānas, with [proper] restraint; by the Sadhyas,¹⁰
with oblations¹¹; by the chief Rṣis, with feelings of great
joy¹2; and by those seeking emancipation, with partiality.¹4
May Ravi (Sürya) protect you!
