ومن كان من الرجال ينظر (إلى الإله) بتعبّدٍ في كلّ يوم أحد طوال سنة كاملة، فقد جعل مقامه هنا مثمرًا، فينال ابنًا وينال كذلك السعادة العظمى.
Sūta (deduced from section context)
Tirtha: Sāmbasūrya / Vaṭāditya
Type: kshetra
Scene: A sequence-like depiction: the same devotee returns each Sunday across changing seasons—summer heat, monsoon clouds, autumn clarity—always facing the Sūrya shrine; finally he receives a child in his arms, with an aura of fulfillment.
Regular, faithful darśana aligned with sacred time (Sūryavāra) and sacred place is praised as a direct path to merit and blessings.
The ‘here’ (atra) indicates the Sāmbasūrya kṣetra/tīrtha being praised in this chapter.
Perform darśana/worship on Sundays for one year with devotion.
