Surya's wife, Sanjna, however, was not happy with her husband. He was so bright she couldn't bear to look at his face! So she ran away, leaving a substitute who looked exactly like her. Surya eventually became suspicious and went looking for his wife. She took the form of a stallion, chased her, and impregnated her by breathing on her. Their sons were twin horsemen called Ashvins.
When Sanjna confessed that she couldn't stand his intense brightness, Surya had his radiance surgically whittled down to a fraction of its original intensity, and the couple lived happily ever after.
