Varaha Purana 177.11: Adhyaya 177, Shloka 11
The Curse of Sāmba and the Prescribed Observance of Sun-Worship
पश्चात्साम्बः समायातस्तस्याग्रे करसंपुटम् ॥ कृत्वा स्थितो मुहूर्तं तु किमाज्ञापयसि प्रभो
paścātsāmbaḥ samāyātas tasyāgre karasaṃpuṭam || kṛtvā sthito muhūrtaṃ tu kimājñāpayasi prabho
फिर साम्ब आया। उसने हाथ जोड़े और खड़ा रहके पूछा, प्रभु आप क्या कहते हो?
