TRANSLATION

Similarly, fourteen other saints, Gandharvas, Apsarās, Nāgas, Yakṣas, Rākṣasas and demigods, who are divided into groups of two, assume different names every month and continuously perform different ritualistic ceremonies to worship the Supreme Lord as the most powerful demigod Sūryadeva, who holds many names.

PURPORT

In the Viṣṇu Purāṇa it is said:

stuvanti munayaḥ sūryaṁ

gandharvair gīyate puraḥ

nṛtyanto 'psaraso yānti

sūryasyānu niśācarāḥ

vahanti pannagā yakṣaiḥ

kriyate 'bhiṣusaṅgrahaḥ

vālikhilyās tathaivainaṁ

parivārya samāsate

so 'yaṁ sapta-gaṇaḥ sūrya-

maṇḍale muni-sattama

himoṣṇa vāri-vṛṣṭīṇāṁ

hetutve samayaṁ gataḥ

Worshiping the most powerful demigod Sūrya, the Gandharvas sing in front of him, the Apsarās dance before the chariot, the Niśācaras follow the chariot, the Pannagas decorate the chariot, the Yakṣas guard the chariot, and the saints called the Vālikhilyas surround the sun-god and offer prayers. The seven groups of fourteen associates arrange the proper times for regular snow, heat and rain throughout the universe.
