तस्य सांबः सुतो जज्ञे जांबवत्यां महाबलः । स तु पित्रा भृशं शप्तः कुष्ठरोगमवाप्तवान् । तेन संस्थापितः सूर्यो निजनाम्ना पुरं कृतम्
tasya sāṃbaḥ suto jajñe jāṃbavatyāṃ mahābalaḥ | sa tu pitrā bhṛśaṃ śaptaḥ kuṣṭharogamavāptavān | tena saṃsthāpitaḥ sūryo nijanāmnā puraṃ kṛtam

FAQs
Even suffering born of a curse can become a doorway to dharma—devotion and sacred installation of the deity transform adversity into a tīrtha-creating act.
Prabhāsakṣetra’s broader setting is in view, and the verse specifically points to the founding of Sāmbapura and the establishment of a Sūrya presence there.
Saṃsthāpana (installation/establishment) of Sūrya is indicated; details of the rite are not given in this verse.
