माघमासस्य सप्तम्यां सूर्यवारेण यो नरः । पूजयेद्भास्करं तत्र स याति परमां गतिम्
māghamāsasya saptamyāṃ sūryavāreṇa yo naraḥ | pūjayedbhāskaraṃ tatra sa yāti paramāṃ gatim
માઘ માસની સપ્તમી જ્યારે રવિવારે આવે ત્યારે જે મનુષ્ય તે પવિત્ર સ્થાને ભાસ્કર (સૂર્યદેવ)ની પૂજા કરે છે, તે પરમ ગતિને પામે છે.
Narrator (Purāṇic storyteller; specific speaker not explicit in the snippet)
Type: kshetra
Scene: At dawn in Māgha, a devotee stands at the holy place facing the rising sun, offering arghya; a small Sūrya icon or temple is nearby; the atmosphere is crisp, luminous, and auspicious.
Devotion performed at the right sacred time and place—especially Sun-worship in Māgha—yields the highest spiritual fruit.
The verse refers to worshipping ‘there’ (tatra) within the ongoing tīrtha narrative of Nāgarakhaṇḍa Adhyāya 59; the site is implied by the surrounding Vidureśvara/tīrtha context.
Worship Bhāskara (Sūrya) on Māgha śukla/kr̥ṣṇa saptamī when it coincides with Sunday, at the specified tīrtha.
