Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (merit compared to Jyeṣṭha-Puṣkara)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: A split-scene: on one side the sacred lake of Puṣkara with crowds on auspicious days; on the other, a lone devotee at Prabhāsa offering arghya to Sūrya—both framed as yielding equal merit.
Simple, devoted Sun-offering (sūryārghya) can confer extraordinary merit equal to rare, highly-auspicious tīrtha-occasions.
Jyeṣṭha Puṣkara is cited as a benchmark tīrtha whose merit is equaled by offering arghya to Sūrya.
Offering arghya (water-libation with reverence) to the Sun.
