Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 3 - Chapter 1 - Verse 15
Sanskrit:
य: सृज्यशक्तिमुरुधोच्छ्वसयन् स्वशक्त्यापुंसोऽभ्रमाय दिवि धावति भूतभेद: ।कालाख्यया गुणमयं क्रतुभिर्वितन्वं-स्तस्मै बलिं हरत वत्सरपञ्चकाय ॥ १५ ॥
ITRANS:
yaḥ sṛjya-śaktim urudhocchvasayan sva-śaktyāpuṁso ’bhramāya divi dhāvati bhūta-bhedaḥkālākhyayā guṇamayaṁ kratubhir vitanvaṁstasmai baliṁ harata vatsara-pañcakāya
Translation:
O Vidura, the sun enlivens all living entities with his unlimited heat and light. He diminishes the duration of life of all living entities in order to release them from their illusion of material attachment, and he enlarges the path of elevation to the heavenly kingdom. He thus moves in the firmament with great velocity, and therefore everyone should offer him respects once every five years with all ingredients of worship.
