Sūta Gosvāmī said: The sun, created by Viṣṇu, the Supreme Soul of all embodied beings, through his beginningless material energy, travels among all the planets, establishing the movements of the planets. One should not consider that the sun mentioned in the Bhāgavatam which is compared to Kṛṣṇa, who has a spiritual body of eternity, knowledge and bliss, is material. That is expressed in this verse. The sun has been created by Viṣṇu, the soul of all embodied beings. It is a form of his power or effulgence, created by his beginningless māyā. (Thus it is another vibhūti.) The sun establishes the movements of the planets (loka-tantraḥ).
