A lithograph depicting the Sun god revealing his new form to Sanjna, who is in her mare form.

... that in Hindu mythology, goddess Sanjna created a shadow version of herself and later transformed into a mare to escape her husband, the Sun god, whose fiery energy she could not endure?

"...unable to bear it, transformed her own shadow (chhaya) of-the-same-kind (savarna). Her own shadow became a Samjna that was made of magic illusion...And so she took the form of a mare, concealing her form, and grazed in the land of the northern Kurus."

Tvastr assuaged the Sun's anger and trimmed him on his lathe, removing his excessive fiery energy....Then the Sun showed her his lovely form, and when she saw her husband she was satisfied."

""Somewhat embarrassed, the wise woman went to her father's house. But her father reviled her and kept telling her, "Go back to your husband." And so she took the form of a mare, concealing her form, and grazed in the land of the northern Kurus.""

Comment: I can't decide which hook will be the best. Though I think Alt hook 1 is the most interesting, it mainly focuses on Sun God, not Sanjna
