While the sages glorify the sun-god with the hymns of the Sāma, Ṛg and Yajur Vedas, which reveal his identity, the Gandharvas also sing his praises and the Apsarās dance before his chariot. The Nāgas bind the chariot firmly and the Yakṣas harness the horses to the chariot, while the powerful Rākṣasas push from behind. This describes the actions of the six associates. Tal-liṅgaiḥ means “by Vedic verses which reveal the sun.” The Nāgas bind up the chariot firmly. The Yakṣas connect the chariot to the horses. Rākṣasas push it with force.
