maṇḍalaṁ deva-yajanaṁ
dīkṣā saṁskāra ātmanaḥ
paricaryā bhagavata
ātmano durita-kṣayaḥ
maṇḍalam - the sun globe; deva-yajanam - the place where the Supreme Lord is worshiped; dīkṣā - spiritual initiation; saṁskāraḥ - the process of purification; ātmanaḥ - for the spirit soul; paricaryā - devotional service; bhagavataḥ - of the Personality of Godhead; ātmanaḥ - for the jīva soul; durita - of sinful reactions; kṣayaḥ - the destruction.
One should meditate on the fiery sun globe as a place where God is worshiped. Lord Kṛṣṇa is the reservoir of all effulgence, and thus it is fitting that He be properly worshiped on the glowing sun.
