Mahabharata
English[Chattropānahotpatti]
(“the origin of giving umbrellas and sandals at śrāddhas”). § 752b (Ānuśāsanik.): Bhīshma said: In ancient times Jamadagni Bhārgava was practising with his bow
[his wife]
Reṇukā used to pick up the arrows and bring them back to him. One day, at noontide, when the Sun was in Jyeshṭhāmūla, Reṇukā, her head and feet being scorched by the heat of the Sun, rested for a moment under a tree, whereafter Jamadagni threatened to shoot the Sun. The Sun, in the guise of a brahman, approached him and reminded him that the Sun produces food, etc. (XIII, 95). [Further]
questioned by Yudhishṭhira, Bhīshma said: As Jamadagni did not desist from his anger, the brahman reminded him that the Sun is always in motion and cannot therefore be piereed
Jamadagni, knowing Sūrya, said that the Sun stays at midday for a moment. Then Sūrya sought his protection, and Jamadagni eomforted him, saying “he who would slay one who asks for protection would transcend the simplicity that exists in brahmans, etc. ().” Sūrya presented him with an umbrella and a pair of sandals, saying, “from this day the gift of these articles in all religious rites shall be established as an indispensable usage.” (XIII, 96).
