It prescribes a simple Surya-upāsanā: recite a wish for “sorrowless” prosperity and success, then wrap (adorn) the Sun with white cloth and worship with fruits.
“Viśokā” frames prosperity and achievement as ideally attained without grief, distress, or harmful consequences—well-being that is inwardly peaceful.
White cloth commonly signifies purity and auspiciousness in ritual contexts, while fruits represent a simple, sattvic offering appropriate for reverential worship.
