The Character of Bharata Mahārāja
287
nimlocati —sets;  ha —alas;  bhagavān —the Supreme Personality of Godhead, represented as the sun;  sakala-jagat —of all the universe;  kṣema-udayaḥ —who increases the auspiciousness;  trayī-ātmā —who consists of the three  Vedas ;  adya api —until now;  mama —my;  na —not;  mṛga-vadhū-nyāsaḥ —this baby deer entrusted to me by its mother;  āgacchati —has come back.
TRANSLATION
Alas, when the sun rises, all auspicious things begin. Unfortunately, they have not begun for me. The sun-god is the Vedas personified, but I am bereft of all Vedic principles. That sun-god is now setting, yet the poor animal who trusted in me since its mother died has not returned.
PURPORT
In the  Brahma-saṁhitā  (5.52), the sun is described as the eye of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
yac-cakṣur eṣa savitā sakala-grahāṇāṁ rājā samasta-sura-mūrtir aśeṣa-tejāḥ yasyājñayā bhramati saṁbhrta-kāla-cakro govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi
As the sun arises, one should chant the Vedic  mantra  beginning with the Gāyatrī. The sun is the symbolic representation of the eyes of the Supreme Lord. Mahārāja Bharata lamented that although the sun was going to set, due to the poor animal's absence, he could not find anything auspicious. Bharata Mahārāja considered himself most unfortunate, for due to the animal's absence, there was nothing auspicious for him in the presence of the sun.
