The sun is described as the cosmic gatherer — its rays draw the prāṇa of every direction into itself. The sun is not just a heat source but the active principle that animates all life by perpetually circulating prāṇa across space.
जब सूर्य उदय होकर पूर्व दिशा में प्रवेश करता है, तब वह पूर्व के प्राणों को अपनी किरणों में समेट लेता है। जब वह दक्षिण, पश्चिम, उत्तर, नीचे, ऊपर, और मध्यवर्ती दिशाओं को प्रकाशित करता है, और सब को प्रकाशित करता है — तब सभी दिशाओं के प्राणों को अपनी किरणों में समेट लेता है।
अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।
When the sun rises and enters the eastern direction, by that it gathers into its rays the prāṇas of the east. When it illumines south, west, north, below, above, and the intermediate directions — when it illumines all — by that it gathers all prāṇas into its rays.

जब सूर्य उदय होकर पूर्व दिशा में प्रवेश करता है, तब वह पूर्व के प्राणों को अपनी किरणों में समेट लेता है। धीमी और लंबी श्वास वेगस तंत्रिका को सक्रिय कर हृदय की गति और भय-प्रतिक्रिया को शांत करती है। यह पंक्ति उसी श्वास-मन संबंध को कहती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
