KaSyapOashtama:= Beyond the seven mentioned above is the eighth , Kasyapan. In Him is housed all the other seven forms . As the Sun travels from equator to Northern apex , and the other way to Southern apex , it changes into the 7 forms related to its 7 colors (VIBGYOR) with the different sections of earth it passes thru . The eighth unchanged form is that of Kasyapa, which is located in the northern apex ( Mahaa Meru Mountain) . The power of all other 7 forms of Sun are incorporated in Kasyapa .
