English	While ruling the universe, King Priyavrata came dissatisfied with the circumambulation of the powerful sun god. As the sun god circles Sumeru Hill on his chariot, he illuminates all the surrounding planetary systems. However, when the sun is on the northern side of the hill, the south receives less light, and when the sun is in the south, the north receives less. King Priyavrata disliked this situation and therefore decided to make daylight in the part of the universe where there was night. He followed the orbit of the sun god on a brilliant chariot and thus fulfilled his desire.
