Regular darśana with faith—especially aligned to Sūrya’s day (Sunday)—is praised as a disciplined path to purification and relief from suffering.

The Sūrya image installed by King Bṛhadbala at the chapter’s sacred kṣetra (within the Puṣkara-traya context) is glorified as a healing focus of darśana.

Bhāskara-darśana (beholding Sūrya’s installed image) on each Sunday for one year—even briefly—promised as a remedy for disease.
