Matsyapurana 11.31

11.31

na śaśākātha taddraṣṭuṃ pādarūpaṃ raveḥ punaḥ
arcāsvapi tataḥ pādau na kaścitkārayet kvacit //

Nobody could stand the dazzle of his feet, and consequently let no one ever make the feet of the Sun in his image, for the purpose of worship even. One who makes the feet of the Sun in his image, goes to hell and suffers from leprosy. Let, therefore, no one, who is anxious for his own welfare, make the feet of the Sun, even in pictures or temples.—31-33.
