Preview of English translation:
10. He then puts the gold plate thereon. Now this gold plate is yonder sun, for he shines over all the creatures here on earth; and 'rocas' (shine) they mystically call 'rukma' (gold plate), for the gods love the mystic: he thus lays down yonder sun (on the altar). It is golden, and round, with one and twenty knobs,—the significance of this has been explained. He puts it down with the knobs pointing downward; for the knobs are his (the sun's) rays, and his rays (shine) downwards.
