As long as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west — twice as long does it rise in the south and set in the north, and so long does his overlordship and self-rule with the Rudras extend.

The measure of the second communion — and the first shifting of the cosmos: the sun will rise dakṣiṇataḥ — "in the south" — and set in the north: for twice as long as our present world-day: the epoch of the Rudras is another sky, in which the luminary travels crosswise to ours!
With every nectar the universe unfolds: the quarters of sunrise change round the circle (east → south → west → north → zenith), and the terms double: the ladder of honey leads through aeons ever more spacious and unfamiliar. The Upaniṣad accustoms us to this: the familiar east is only the first page of the sky; those who know the honey have a calendar running five universes ahead.
