વેદોક્ત કે આગમોક્ત મંત્રોથી અર્ઘ્ય અર્પણ કરવું; જેણે સવિતૃની અર્ચના કરી, તેણે જાણે ત્રૈલોક્યની જ અર્ચના કરી.
Traditional Purāṇic narrator (contextual instruction within Dharmāraṇya Khaṇḍa; speaker not explicit in the snippet)
Scene: A devotee offers arghya with cupped hands; the water-stream rises as a luminous arc into the sun, which contains within it faint three-tiered worlds (heaven, earth, nether) as symbolic spheres.
