The bed trick is a plot device in traditional literature and folklore; it involves a substitution of one partner in the sex act with a third person (in the words of Wendy Doniger, "going to bed with someone whom you mistake for someone else").
According to Wendy Doniger, the substitution of the dark shadow was apt by Saranyu for the dark Surya.
Scholars, including Max Müller, Aurobindo and Wendy Doniger emphasize that most references in the early Veda do not refer to Sarama as canine.
