Svarbhanu, hidden under the marks of a god, got into the assembly of the gods and drank the soma; and the moon and the sun pointed him out. With the discus, whose edge is a razor, Hari took off his head as he was drinking; but his trunk, which the nectar had not reached, fell. The head, brought to deathlessness, the Unborn made into a planet; and at the joinings of the month it runs at the moon and the sun, its mind still set on that grudge.
