Se alguém não puder (fazer mais), que ao menos ofereça diariamente um único arghya ao Criador do Dia. Mas, no dia de Rathasaptamī, nesta observância, o arghya deve ser oferecido com esforço especial no kuṇḍa, a bacia ritual.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Bhaṭṭāditya-kuṇḍa (implied)
Type: kund
Scene: A devotee at a temple kuṇḍa offers a single arghya at sunrise; a second vignette shows Rathasaptamī with more elaborate arrangement—clean vessels, flowers, and gathered pilgrims.
Even minimal daily practice is meritorious, but sacred calendrical moments like Rathasaptamī call for heightened devotion.
No specific location is named; the focus is on a festival-observance (Rathasaptamī) within Sūrya worship.
Offer at least one daily arghya to Sūrya; on Rathasaptamī, offer arghya with special care into the kuṇḍa.
