TRANSLATION
My dear King, the carriage of the sun-god's chariot is estimated to be 3,600,000 yojanas [28,800,000 miles] long and one-fourth as wide [900,000 yojanas, or 7,200,000 miles]. The chariot's horses, which are named after Gāyatrī and other Vedic meters, are harnessed by Aruṇadeva to a yoke that is also 900,000 yojanas wide. This chariot continuously carries the sun-god.
PURPORT
In the Viṣṇu Purāṇa it is stated:
- gāyatrī ca bṛhaty uṣṇig
- jagatī triṣṭup eva ca
- anuṣṭup paṅktir ity uktāś
- chandāṁsi harayo raveḥ
The seven horses yoked to the sun-god's chariot are named Gāyatrī, Bṛhati, Uṣṇik, Jagatī, Triṣṭup, Anuṣṭup and Paṅkti. These names of various Vedic meters designate the seven horses that carry the sun-god's chariot.
