Varaha Purana 177.59: Adhyaya 177, Shloka 59
The Curse of Sāmba and the Prescribed Observance of Sun-Worship
स्नात्वा मध्यन्दिनं दृष्ट्वा सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्यते ॥ उदयास्ते ततो देवः साम्बेन सहितो विराट् ॥
snātvā madhyandinaṁ dṛṣṭvā sarvapāpaiḥ pramucyate || udayāste tato devaḥ sāṁbena sahito virāṭ ||
नहा के दोपहर के सूरज को देखो। इससे सारे पाप धुल जाते हैं। फिर भगवान की बात सुनो। साम्ब के साथ जो मूर्ति है, वो उगती है और डूबती है। यह सब समझ लो।
