सूर्यं कुन्तीकुमारे च पञ्चनद्यां विभावसुम् । मथुरायां विमलादित्यं संज्ञादित्यं तु संज्ञिके
sūryaṃ kuntīkumāre ca pañcanadyāṃ vibhāvasum | mathurāyāṃ vimalādityaṃ saṃjñādityaṃ tu saṃjñike
В Кунтикумаре Его почитают как «Сурья»; в Панчанагаради — как «Вибхавасу»; в Матхуре — как «Вималадитья»; а в Самджнике — как «Самджнядитья».
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced from Prabhāsakhaṇḍa māhātmya narration style)
Tirtha: Kuntīkumāra / Pañcanadī / Mathurā / Saṃjñikā (Sūrya-sthānas)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Four sunrise shrines: (1) Kuntīkumāra with a simple Āditya icon receiving arghya, (2) Pañcanadī confluence with five streams meeting and a fire-like ‘Vibhāvasu’ aura, (3) Mathurā ghāṭa with Yamunā and a radiant ‘Vimalāditya’, (4) Saṃjñikā shrine with Saṃjñā motif—subtle feminine presence near the solar disc.
The one Sun is revered through many holy manifestations, teaching unity of divinity expressed through sacred geography.
Kuntīkumāra, Pañcanadī, Mathurā, and Saṃjñikā—each presented as a seat of Sūrya’s distinct name and grace.
No explicit rite is stated here; the emphasis is on recognizing and honoring Sūrya’s named forms at these tīrthas.
