Chandogya

The Chandogya Upanishad is notable for its lilting metric structure, its mention of ancient cultural elements such as musical instruments, and embedded philosophical premises that later served as foundation for Vedanta schools.

Fourth Khanda

Then the northern rays of the sun are the northern honey-cells (of the beehive). The mantras envisioned by the sages Atharvā and Aṅgirā are the bees, and the Itihāsas and Purāṇas (i.e., history and legends) are the flower. The water (from the sacrifice, such as the soma juice and other things) is the nectar (of the flower).

Those Atharvā-Aṅgirasā mantras stimulated the Itihāsas and Purāṇas (i.e., the history and the legends). Out of that so stimulated emerged fame, vitality, the power of the organs, energy, and the essence of food.

All this (fame, etc) spread out to the sun and took shelter there. It is this that gives rise to the deep black spots in the sun.
