पूषन्न् एकर्षे यम सूर्य प्राजापत्य व्यूह रश्मीन् समूह तेजः ।
यत् ते रूपं कल्याणतमं तत् ते पश्यामि योऽसाव् असौ पुरुषः सोऽहम् अस्मि ॥ १६ ॥

O Pūṣan, sole traveller. Yama, Sun, child of Prajāpati, recall thy rays ; withdraw thy light that I may behold thee of loveliest form. Whosoever that Person is, that also am I.
Tap a word for its meaning
Pūṣan=the sun, so called because he protects the world. Ekarshê, because he traverses (the sky) alone. Yama, Death, because he controls all. Sūrya, because he sucks up rays, life and water. prājāpatya, because he is the son of Prajāpati, the Creator. vyūha=remove. raśmīn i.e. your rays. samūha=unite i.e. withdraw. tējas=your light. yat tē=what is yours. rūpam=form, kalyāṇatamam = loveliest, tat tē=that of yours paśyāmi i.e. I may see by your grace. Further I am not entreating you as a servant, because whoever is the Person in the Solar disc, composed of vyāhṛtis,* the same am I. He is known as purusha (person) because He is of the form of a person, or because this world is full of Him in His modes of activity and thought or, again, because He lies in the citadel of the body.
