The Upanishads - Mandhata Global

Meditation on the Adityas
On the third of these nectars the Adityas live, with
Varuna at their head. Truly, the gods do not eat or
drink. They are satisfied by merely looking at the
nectar.
2
They retire into that dark colour and rise up from that
colour.
3
He who thus knows this nectar becomes one of the
Adityas, with Varuna at their head; he is satisfied by
merely looking at the nectar. He returns into that dark
colour and again rises up from that colour.
4
As long as the sun rises in the south and sets in the
north, twice as long does it rise in the west and set in the
east and just so long does he, like the Adityas, enjoy
rulership and sovereignty.
