यद्युगादिसहस्रेण व्यतीपातशतेन च । अयनानां सहस्रेण यत्फलं ज्येष्ठपुष्करे । तत्फलं समवाप्नोति सूर्यायार्घ्य निवेदने
yadyugādisahasreṇa vyatīpātaśatena ca | ayanānāṃ sahasreṇa yatphalaṃ jyeṣṭhapuṣkare | tatphalaṃ samavāpnoti sūryāyārghya nivedane
જ્યેષ્ઠ-પુષ્કરમાં હજાર યುಗાદિ દિવસો, સો વ્યતીપાત અને હજાર અયન-પરિવર્તનથી જે પુણ્યફળ મળે છે, તે જ ફળ સૂર્યદેવને અર્ઘ્ય નિવેદનથી પ્રાપ્ત થાય છે.
Īśvara (Śiva)
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.
