स य कश्चित् एतमेव यथोक्तमहिमान विद्वान्सन् आ दित्य ब्रह्मेत्युपास्ते, स तद्भाव प्रतिपद्यत इत्यर्थ ।किंच दृष्ट फलम् अभ्याश क्षिप्र तद्विद् , यदिति क्रियाविशेषणम् , एन- मेवविद् साधव शोभना घोषा , साधुत्व घोषादीना यदु-पभोगे पापानुबन्धाभाव, आ च गच्छेयु आगच्छेयुश्च, उप च निम्रेडेरन् उपनिम्रेडेरश्च-न केवलमागमनमात्र घोषाणाम् उपसुखयेयुश्च उपसुख च कुर्यु रित्यथ ।द्विर भ्यास अध्यायपरिसमाप्त्यर्थ आदरार्थश्च ॥

In plain words

Whoever perceives this very glory of the sun as it has been described, meditating upon the sun as Brahman, attains that very state of being—this is the import. Moreover, a visible result comes swiftly to such a knower: virtuous people approach him—the virtue of these people being that their enjoyment leaves no trail of sin behind—and they come, they arrive, they draw close to show him honor. It is not merely that they arrive; they actively bring comfort and well-being to him. The repetition of the text here marks the close of the chapter and expresses deep reverence.

Close to the Sanskrit

That whoever, being a knower, worships this very as-stated glory of the sun, 'Aditya is Brahman', attains that state of being, such is the meaning. Furthermore, the seen fruit for that knower manifests swiftly nearby—'yat' being an adverb—meaning even the virtuous noble settlements approach him, the virtue of those settlements being the absence of subsequent sin in enjoyment, and they would come, they would arrive, and they would approach to show kindness—not merely the arrival of the settlements, but they would also provide comfort and do comfort, such is the meaning. The repetition twice is for the purpose of concluding the chapter and for reverence.
