Translation
Vivasvān as the sun-god, Ugrasena as the Gandharva, Vyāghra as the Rākṣasa, Āsāraṇa as the Yakṣa, Bhṛgu as the sage, Anumlocā as the Apsarā and Śaṅkhapāla as the Nāga rule the month of Nabhasya. Nabhasya is Bhādra month. Vivasvān is the sun-god, Ugrasena is the Gandharva, Vyāghra is the Rākṣasa, Āsāraṇa is the Yakṣa, Bhṛgu is the sage, Anumlocā is the Apsarā and Śaṅkhapāla is the Nāga.
Vivasvan, Ugrasena, Vyaghra, Asarana, Bhrgu, Anumloca, Sankha — yet another team. The accumulation conveys how much work the Lord arranges behind every season. Cosmic gratitude is appropriate.
