स्नानं दानं जपो होमः सूर्यपर्वणि यत्कृतम् । तत्सर्वं कोटिगुणितं सूर्यकोटिप्रभावतः
snānaṃ dānaṃ japo homaḥ sūryaparvaṇi yatkṛtam | tatsarvaṃ koṭiguṇitaṃ sūryakoṭiprabhāvataḥ
Омовение, дар, джапа и огненное приношение — всё, что совершается в день праздника Сурьи, умножается в крор раз силою безмерного могущества Сурьи.
Skanda (deduced from concluding merit-amplification teaching in Prabhāsakṣetra-māhātmya)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (Sūrya-parvan context; Arkasthala implied)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Pilgrims at Prabhāsa perform dawn bathing and offer arghya to the rising Sun; nearby a small altar with sacred fire; donors distribute gifts as the solar disc blazes above the sea-coast horizon.
Timely observance—rituals aligned with sacred calendrical moments—intensifies merit when joined with devotion.
The passage belongs to Prabhāsakṣetra-māhātmya; the merit is framed through Sūrya’s power, especially resonant with Arkasthala context.
Perform snāna (bathing), dāna (charity), japa (recitation), and homa (fire offering) on Sūrya-parvan days for multiplied results.
