प्रीत्या सांब स्य तत्रार्को जनस्यानुग्रहाय च । तत्र द्वादशभागेन मित्रो मैत्रेण चक्षुषा
prītyā sāṃba sya tatrārko janasyānugrahāya ca | tatra dvādaśabhāgena mitro maitreṇa cakṣuṣā
محبةً لِسَامْبَا، ولإسباغ النعمة على الناس جميعًا، يقيم أَرْكَةُ، إلهُ الشمس، في ذلك الموضع. وهناك يشرق بصفة «مِتْرَا»، وهو الجزء الثاني عشر من الشمس، ناظرًا إلى العالم بعينٍ ودودة رحيمة.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Sāṃbapura (Mitra-Āditya sthāna)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: Sūrya as Mitra—gentle yet radiant—casting a benevolent gaze over townspeople and pilgrims in Sāṃbapura; the light is protective rather than scorching, suggesting compassion and social concord.
Divine presence in a tīrtha is sustained by compassion—Sūrya remains for loka-anugraha (the world’s welfare) and blesses devotees through a gentle, friendly aspect.
Prabhāsakṣetra (Prabhāsa), presented as a place where Sūrya manifests for the benefit of beings.
No explicit rite is prescribed here; the verse supports the value of Sūrya-darśana and devotional worship at Prabhāsa.
