prītyā sāṃba sya tatrārko janasyānugrahāya ca | tatra dvādaśabhāgena mitro maitreṇa cakṣuṣā
سامب سے محبت اور لوگوں پر کرپا کے لیے ارک (سورج دیو) وہاں ٹھہرتا ہے۔ اُس مقام پر وہ سورج کے بارہویں حصّے ‘مِتر’ کے روپ میں مہربان نگاہ سے جگت کو دیکھتا ہے۔
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Sāṃbapura (Mitra-Āditya sthāna)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: Sūrya as Mitra—gentle yet radiant—casting a benevolent gaze over townspeople and pilgrims in Sāṃbapura; the light is protective rather than scorching, suggesting compassion and social concord.
Divine presence in a tīrtha is sustained by compassion—Sūrya remains for loka-anugraha (the world’s welfare) and blesses devotees through a gentle, friendly aspect.
Prabhāsakṣetra (Prabhāsa), presented as a place where Sūrya manifests for the benefit of beings.
No explicit rite is prescribed here; the verse supports the value of Sūrya-darśana and devotional worship at Prabhāsa.
