When a Sunday falls on the 7th day of a bright fortnight, it is known as Kalyâṇinî or Vijayâ Saptamî. On that day the devotee should bathe in cow’s milk, in the morning, and put on white clothes, and then sit facing the east and draw the picture of an eight-petalled lotus flower, made of uncooked rice powder. He should, then, draw a circle round that lotus, and in the centre of it draw its pericarp, with the same material. Then, on all sides of it, he should draw eight pictures of the Sun with flowers and rice. The devotee should put a pinch of uncooked rice on each petal of the lotus, after reciting the following mantras:—"Tapanâya namaḥ, Mârtaṇḍâya namaḥ, Divâkarâya namaḥ, Vidhâtre namaḥ, Varuṇâya namaḥ, Bhâskarâya namaḥ Vikartanâya namaḥ, and Ravaye namaḥ, respectively, beginning with the picture of the Sun on the Eastern petal, and then on those on the South-Eastern, Southern, South-Western, Western, North-Western, Northern, and, lastly, on the North-Eastern petals.—5-9.
