प्रतिष्ठाप्य सहस्रांशुं देवं पापनिषूदनम् । ततश्चाराधयामास परं नियममाश्रितः
pratiṣṭhāpya sahasrāṃśuṃ devaṃ pāpaniṣūdanam | tataścārādhayāmāsa paraṃ niyamamāśritaḥ
Après avoir établi Sahasrāṁśu (le Soleil), le dieu qui anéantit le péché, il l’adora ensuite, s’étant voué à la plus haute discipline et à la maîtrise de soi.
Sūta (narrator)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Scene: Sāmba installs an image/altar of Sahasrāṁśu (the Sun), then worships with strict discipline—dawn light, offerings of water, flowers, and incense; the scene glows with solar radiance.
True expiation joins inner discipline (niyama) with devoted worship, making the sacred place a vehicle of transformation.
