The Agni on (from) Saturn covers the heat from Sun. Sun is like a small light that is protected by Saturn's hands from Saturn. Sun excels / feels bad due to the presence of Saturn. With his wind, Saturn protects the life of the native by providing oxygen and breeze, but punishes him with stormy winds. Saturn helps in availing comforts and the same is providing sorrow.
