     • 1975 translation by Narhari Govind Suru

       1182. The sun is figuratively imagined to the whetting wheel of the bluish sword in the form of the blue sky.
       As the sword is held over the rotating sharpening wheel, fire-sparks, which are no other than the powdered particles of the wheel made of brick-clay, shoot and spread about.
       This is the red-lustered dawn emerging and the wheel is the sun’s orb.
