Here the king in his distress turns to two refuges — the divine and his teacher. It is telling that, while praying to Surya, he at the same time "turns his mind" to his purohita Vasishtha: seeking the highest, the righteous man calls upon his spiritual guide as well. Here appears the truth that the guru stands between man and the divine: one approaches the Lord through the mediation of a holy teacher. Thus the text shows the seeker's double refuge — the divine and its representative on earth; and Samvarana's silent call to Vasishtha will be heard.
