With red lotuses, kahlāra flowers, kesara, and karavīra blossoms,
सप्तम्यामथ षष्ठ्यां वा येऽर्चयिष्यंति मामिह ४३.
On the seventh or sixth lunar day, those who worship me here,
दर्शनान्मम भक्त्या च नाशो व्याधिदरिद्रयोः ४३.
By seeing me and with devotion, disease and poverty are destroyed.
अभक्तिं यश्च कर्ता मे स गच्छेन्निश्चिंतं क्षयम् ४३.
But whoever acts without devotion toward me will certainly meet ruin.
त्रिकालमेककालं वा पठतः श्रृणुयत्फलम् ४३.
Whether recited three times daily or once, the fruit of hearing it is,
भवेद्वर्षशतायुश्च सर्वरोगविवर्जितः ४३.
One attains a lifespan of a hundred years, free from all diseases.
अक्षयं स्वल्पमप्यन्नं भवेत्तस्योपसाधितम् ४३.
Even a small amount of food acquired by him becomes inexhaustible.
तस्मादेतत्त्वया जाप्यं परं स्वस्त्ययनं महत् ४३.
Therefore, you should recite this; it is the supreme and great blessing.
कामरूपकला यत्र तत्र कुंडं वने भवेत् ४३.
Wherever the art of assuming forms exists, there is a sacred pit in the forest.
ततो भास्करवाक्येन सिद्धेशस्य च सव्यतः ४३.
Then, by the words of Bhāskara and the presence of the lord of siddhis,
कामरूपभवं कुंडं वृक्षास्ते चापि भारत ४३.
The pit for assuming forms and those trees, O Bhārata,
माघमासस्य शुक्लायां सप्तम्यां स्त्री नरोऽपि वा ४३.
On the seventh day of the bright fortnight in the month of Māgha, whether woman or man,
तस्यानंतं भवेत्पुण्यं रथं यश्च प्रपूजयेत् ४३.
Endless merit accrues to the one who worships that chariot.
ये च पश्यंति लोकास्ते धन्याः सर्वे न संशयः ४३.

On the seventh day, in Bhaṭṭāditya’s sacred tank, one attains the fruit of giving a hundred tawny cows.
वासुदेवादयः सर्वे वदंत्येवं महामुने॥ ४३.
All the Vasudevas and others declare this, O great sage.
भास्करार्घं विना पातः कृतं सर्वं च निष्फलम् ४३.
Without offering arghya to Bhāskara, all acts performed are fruitless.
यथा ब्रह्मादयो देवा यच्छंत्यर्घं महात्मने ४३.
Just as Brahmā and the other gods offer arghya to the great-souled one.
प्रथमं तावत्प्रत्युषे उदिते सूर्ये शुचिर्भूत्वा गोमयकृतमंडलस्योपरि रक्तचंदनेन मंडलकं कृत्वा ततस्ताम्रपात्रे रक्तचंदनोदकश्वेतचंदनादिद्रव्यैः प्रपूरणं कृत्वा तन्मध्ये हेमाक्षतदूर्वादधिसर्पीषि परिक्षिप्य स्थापयेत्॥ ४३.
First, at sunrise, having purified oneself, one should draw a circle with cow dung, then make a smaller circle with red sandalwood; after that, fill a copper vessel with red sandalwood water, white sandalwood, and other substances, and in its center place gold, rice grains, dūrvā grass, curds, and ghee.
स्वशरीरमालभेत् अनेन मंत्रेण सप्तवारानुच्चार्य स्थातव्यम् पश्चादासनस्थं देवं सवितारं मंडलमध्ये द्वादशात्मकं सुरादिभिः संपूज्यमानं ध्यात्वा पूर्वोक्तमर्घपात्रं शिरसि कृत्वा भूमौ जानुनी निपात्य सूर्याभिमुखस्तद्गतमनाभूत्वार्घमंत्रमुदाहरेत् ४३.
One should touch one’s own body with this mantra, reciting it seven times, then remain standing; afterwards, meditating on the god Savitṛ, twelve-formed, seated in the center of the circle and worshipped by the gods, place the previously mentioned arghya vessel on one’s head, kneel on the ground facing the sun, concentrate the mind on him, and recite the arghya mantra.
यस्योच्चारणशब्देन रथं संस्थाप्य भास्करः ४३.
By the sound of whose utterance, Bhāskara is established in the chariot.
ॐयस्याहुः सप्त च्छंदांसि रथे तिष्ठंति वाजिनः ४३.
Om—they say that seven meters and horses stand in the chariot.
जया च विजया चैव जयंती पापनाशनी ४३.
Jaya, Vijaya, Jayantī, and Pāpanāśanī.
डिंडिश्च शेषनागश्च गणाध्यक्षस्तथैव च ४३.
Ḍiṇḍi, Śeṣanāga, and likewise Gaṇādhyakṣa.
राज्ञी च निक्षुभा देवी ललिता चैव संज्ञिका ४३.
Rājñī, Nikṣubhā Devī, Lalitā, and Saṃjñikā.
एभिः परिवृतो योऽसावधरोत्तरवासिभिः ४३.
Surrounded by these, who dwell in the north and south quarters.
अम्मयो भगवान्भानुरमुं यज्ञं प्रवर्तयन् ४३.
The blessed Bhānu, initiating this sacrifice, together with them.
सहस्रकिरण वरद जीवनरूप ते नमः ॐवषट् इत्युच्चार्य सूर्यस्य चरणयुगलं पश्यन् भुवि पद्म्यां पात्रीं निर्वापयेत् पाद्यं तदुच्यते स्वागतं भगवन्नेहि मम प्रसादं विधाय आस्यताम् तिष्ठ त्वं तावदत्रैव यावत्पूजां करोम्यहम्॥ ४३.
O thousand-rayed, bestower of boons, embodiment of life, I bow to you; uttering 'Om vaṣaṭ', gazing at the pair of feet of Sūrya, pour water from a lotus vessel onto the earth as pādya—that is called the welcoming; 'Welcome, O Blessed One, come, grant me your favor, be seated; remain here for now while I perform your worship.'
एवं विज्ञापनं दद्यादनेन मंत्रेण कमलासनम् आसन उपविष्टस्य शेषां पूजां नियोजयेत् अनेन विधानेन इति क्षीरादिस्नपनम् ततो वासोयुगं शुभ्रं दद्यात् अनेन मंत्रेण कटिभूषणमेकं ते द्वितीयं चांगप्रावरणम्॥ ४३.
Thus, one should make this request with the mantra to the lotus-seated one; for the god seated on the āsana, one should perform the remaining worship in this manner; thus is the bathing with milk and other substances. Then, offer a pair of pure garments with this mantra: 'One is your waist-ornament, the second is your upper garment.'
