Here, even from the golden-headed, tawny-haired one who chants forth, a vast sound is heard—belonging to that which is unseen and immeasurable.

Here is the maiden named Dhvajavatī, daughter of Harimedhas; commanded by the Sun—‘Stand, stand in the sky’—she remained stationed in the firmament.
english translation
अत्र वायुस्तथा वह्निरापः खं चैव गालव । आह्निकं चैव नैशं च दुःखस्पर्शं विमुञ्चति । अतः प्रभृति सूर्यस्य तिर्यगावर्तते गतिः॥५-१०८-१४॥
Here, O Gālava, wind, fire, water, and space cast off the painful contact of day and night; from this point onward, the Sun’s course is described as turning in a transverse circuit.

अत्र ज्योतींषि सर्वाणि विशन्त्यादित्यमण्डलम् । अष्टाविंशतिरात्रं च चङ्क्रम्य सह भानुना । निष्पतन्ति पुनः सूर्यात्सोमसंयोगयोगतः॥५-१०८-१५॥
Here all the luminaries enter the solar orb; moving together with the Sun for twenty-eight nights, they emerge again from the Sun through conjunction with the Moon.
