Hỡi Savitā, bậc tối thượng giữa chư thiên, hỡi Tapana rực sáng! Với những ai kính lễ Ngài ba lần mỗi ngày theo nghi thức Veda truyền thừa, Ngài thiêu đốt mọi tội lỗi, mọi khổ đau, và cả hạt giống dục vọng. Vì thế chúng con chuyên chú quán niệm quả cầu lửa của Ngài.
FAQs
This verse describes the Sun-orb as a manifestation of Bhagavān that devotees worship according to Vedic injunctions, and it states that such worship burns away the seeds of sins and miseries.
Because the Sun is presented here not merely as a planet but as a divine form through which Bhagavān’s power is visible—sustaining life and purifying those who approach it with Vedic discipline.
Maintain a steady daily spiritual routine—regular prayer/meditation at set times, remembrance of Bhagavān, and disciplined conduct—because consistent practice is said to uproot the ‘seeds’ of harmful habits and suffering.
