Translation
Sūta Gosvāmī said: Praised in this way and satisfied, the powerful sun-god assumed the form of a horse and presented to the sage Yājñavalkya mantras of the Yajur Veda previously unknown.
Satisfied, the sun-god takes the form of a horse and gives Yajnavalkya yajur-mantras. Revelation can come in unexpected shapes when one is sincere. We should not pre-judge how grace will arrive.
