The Deities, (S'íghrochcha and Mandochcha) attract the planets (from their uniform course) fastened by the reins of winds borne by the Deities towards themselves to the east or the west, with their right or left hands according as they are to their right or left.[1]

(Besides this) a (great) wind called Pravaha carries the planets (westward) which are also attracted towards their apogees. Thus the planets being attracted (at once) to the east and west get the various motions.
