## The Adi Purana, Chapter 3, Verse 95
The sun, considering his own glory as equal to that of Arka Kirti, became angry and set, delaying the victory of Jayakumar. ||261||
Even though the sun, whose light is clear and who is virtuous, set, it is only right. For who, even if he is a drinker of wine, does not go down? ||262||
From his rising, his radiance increased, and he spread his heat over the world. But even this powerful sun was destroyed in a single day. Then who else, who is more powerful and brings more suffering, can remain in the world? ||263||
The clear lakes, which dispel heat, did not want to see the sun, who had lost his radiance. So they closed their lotus-like eyes in sorrow. ||264||
The birds entered their own nests, as if they were unable to see the celestial beings who had fallen from the sky, struck by Jayakumar's sharp sword. ||265||
The sun has extraordinary power, extraordinary radiance, and is worshipped by all in an extraordinary way. Yet, he falls every day. This shows that the cruel fate is not subject to reason. ||266||
The group of wise men said, "When the sun, who was equal to Arka Kirti, became invisible, what can be said about the one who is being compared?" ||267||
