इति सप्तविधं पापं स्नानान्मे सप्तसप्तिके । सप्तव्याधिसमायुक्तं हर माकरि सप्तमि
iti saptavidhaṃ pāpaṃ snānānme saptasaptike | saptavyādhisamāyuktaṃ hara mākari saptami
इस प्रकार सात प्रकार का पाप—मेरे ‘सप्त-सप्तिक’ स्नान से—हे माकरी सप्तमी, उसे हर लो; और उससे जुड़ी सात व्याधियों के समूह को भी दूर करो।

Tirtha: Keśavāditya (Kāśī)
Type: ghat
Scene: A ritual bath sequence at a Kāśī ghāṭa: the devotee immerses repeatedly or performs a counted ablution, with seven symbolic lotuses or seven rays of the sun above; afflictions depicted as dissolving shadows.
Ritual purity is not merely physical: bathing joined to vow and prayer is presented as a means to dissolve karmic causes of suffering.
The teaching belongs to Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s sacred setting, where bathing rites and sun-related tīrthas are especially praised.
Snāna (ritual bath) connected to a ‘sapta-saptika’ measure, accompanied by invocation of Mākarī Saptamī.
