O King, the sun-god and the sun plane divide all the directions of the universe. It is only because of the presence of the sun that we can understand what the sky, the higher planes, this world and the lower planes are. It is also only because of the sun that we can understand which places are for material enjoyment, which are for liberation, which are hellish and subterranean.
