Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 202

Devanagari script

स्थानं शाश्वतमोजसां गतिरपां दीपो दिशामक्षयः सिद्धेर्द्वारमपावभेदि जगतां साधारणं लोचनम् । हैमं पुष्करमंतरिक्षसरसो दीप्तं दिवः कुण्डलं कालोन्मानविभावनाक्षतलयं बिंबं रवेः पातु वः

Transliteration

Translation

Nguyện vầng nhật luân rực rỡ của Mặt Trời hộ trì cho các ngươi—nơi an trụ vĩnh hằng của quang huy; đường đi và chỗ nương của muôn dòng nước; ngọn đèn bất hoại của mười phương; cửa ngõ của siddhi phá tan cấu uế; con mắt chung của mọi thế giới. Như đóa sen vàng trong hồ giữa hư không, như chiếc khuyên tai chói sáng của trời cao, như thước đo để nhận biết thời gian—trước Ngài, rốt cuộc mọi điều tưởng như không vỡ cũng tan.

FAQs

Sūrya is praised as the universal witness and purifier—illumination (outer and inner) is presented as the force that removes impurity and enables siddhi.

The verse functions within the Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya, thereby supporting the sanctity of Prabhāsa-kṣetra while extolling the Sun as its cosmic emblem.

No explicit rite is stated here; it is a protective stuti intended for recitation, aligning with devotional praise (stotra) rather than a specific vrata or dāna.
