“The first problem is that it is the wrong book. The Garud Puran is read during death rites, and the only distance it mentions is the road a soul travels to Yamalok, the land of the dead — eighty-six thousand yojanas. Nothing about the Sun. The “Sun” line people quote is actually from the Hanuman Chalisa, a devotional poem written around 1600 CE — barely four hundred years ago — and in Awadhi, an everyday spoken language, not ancient Sanskrit. So the claim fails at the very first step: wrong scripture, and a modern one at that.”
