सहायार्थं च सूर्यस्य यो द्विजो नांजलि त्रयम् । क्षिपेन्मंदेहनाशाय सोपि मंदेहतां व्रजेत्
sahāyārthaṃ ca sūryasya yo dvijo nāṃjali trayam | kṣipenmaṃdehanāśāya sopi maṃdehatāṃ vrajet
Sesiapa dvija yang, demi membantu Surya, mencurahkan tiga genggam air arghya untuk memusnahkan Maṇḍeha—dia juga, jika menyimpang daripada adab dan tata laku yang benar, akan jatuh ke keadaan ‘Maṇḍeha’ itu.
Traditional Purāṇic narrator (contextual instruction within Dharmāraṇya Khaṇḍa; speaker not explicit in the snippet)
Type: ghat
Scene: A dvija offers three arghya handfuls toward the Sun; beside him, a shadow-form of a Maṇḍeha mirrors his posture—signifying that without ācāra the worshipper becomes what he opposes.
Daily rites are not optional: supporting dharma through nitya-karma (like arghya to Sūrya) safeguards one from spiritual downfall.
The passage is primarily a dharma-instruction within Dharmāraṇya Khaṇḍa, not a focused praise of a named tīrtha.
Offering three añjalis (three cupped handfuls) of water as arghya to Sūrya for Maṇḍeha-nāśa.
