The Curse of Sāmba and the Prescribed Observance of Sun-Worship
भविष्यमिति विख्यातं ख्यातं कृत्वा पुनर्नवम् ॥ साम्बः सूर्यप्रतिष्ठां च कारयामास तत्त्ववित्
bhaviṣyamiti vikhyātaṃ khyātaṃ kṛtvā punarnavam || sāmbaḥ sūryapratiṣṭhāṃ ca kārayāmāsa tattvavit
भविष्य नाम का ग्रंथ पहले से था। साम्ब ने उसे फिर से नया बनाया। साम्ब सच समझता था। उसने सूर्य का मंदिर बनवाया और स्थापना करवाई।
