पूजामंत्रः । एवं संपूज्य कपिलां कुम्भस्थं च दिवाकरम् । ब्राह्मणे वेदविदुष उभयं प्रतिपादयेत्
pūjāmaṃtraḥ | evaṃ saṃpūjya kapilāṃ kumbhasthaṃ ca divākaram | brāhmaṇe vedaviduṣa ubhayaṃ pratipādayet
ಪೂಜಾ ಮಂತ್ರ: ಈ ರೀತಿಯಾಗಿ ಕಪಿಲೆಯನ್ನೂ ಕುಂಭಸ್ಥ ದಿವಾಕರನನ್ನೂ (ಸೂರ್ಯನನ್ನು) ಸಮ್ಯಕ್ ಪೂಜಿಸಿ, ವೇದವಿದ್ವಾಂಸ ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣನಿಗೆ ಎರಡನ್ನೂ ವಿಧಿಪೂರ್ವಕವಾಗಿ ಸಮರ್ಪಿಸಬೇಕು.

Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (Kapilā–Divākara dāna-rite)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A ritual pavilion at Prabhāsa: Kapilā is adorned with garlands; beside her a decorated water-pot (kumbha) bears a solar emblem; a priest completes worship and formally presents the gifts to a serene Veda-knowing brāhmaṇa.
Worship culminates in dāna: devotion is completed by offering sacred objects to qualified recipients.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, where this combined Kapilā and Sūrya rite is prescribed for great merit.
Worship Kapilā and Sūrya installed in a kumbha, then donate both to a Veda-learned Brāhmaṇa.
