Sun-worship Vratas (19) Trigati-saptam墨
The Trigatisaptam墨 begins on the seventh day of the bright fortnight in the month of 笔丑腻濒驳耻苍补 and lasts for a year. The Sun-god is worshipped under the three names 贬补峁僺补, the 膧艣vins and 叠丑腻蝉办补谤补. The whole year of the twelve months is divided into three divisions of four months. From 笔丑腻濒驳耻峁嘺 to 闯测别峁ａ弓丑补, 厂奴谤测补 is worshipped as 贬补峁僺补, from 膧峁Ｄ佱笉a to 础艣惫颈苍补 as 惭腻谤迟补峁囜笉补, and 碍腻谤迟颈办补 to 惭腻驳丑补 as 叠丑腻蝉办补谤补. By the observance of this vrata, the worshipper secures earthly lordship, over lordship of the earth and pleasures of the Indraloka and residence of the 厂奴谤测补loka.[1]
