**Seventh Prabhruta Surya by Pagasia Pavva**
**P. -** What is the Surya (Sun) worshipped on? Please tell me.
**U. -** There are twenty different interpretations (**Padivatti**) mentioned in this context, as follows:
1. Some say that the Surya is worshipped on the **Mandara** mountain.
2. Others say that the Surya is worshipped on the **Meru** mountain.
3. - 19. Similarly, other interpretations should be considered in the same way.
20. Some say that the Surya is worshipped on the **Pavvayaraya** mountain.
We, however, believe that the Surya is worshipped on the **Mandara** mountain. This is also mentioned in the **Surya Prajnaptti** (Chapter 5, Sutra 26).
The Surya is also worshipped on the **Pavvayaraya** mountain.
(a) Those who see the Surya's rays (**Lesa**) are worshipping the Surya.
(b) Even those who cannot see the Surya are worshipping it.
(c) Even those who are in the last stage of **Lesa** (**Charimalesa**) are worshipping the Surya.
1. In the **Surya Prajnaptti** (Chapter 5, Sutra 26), under the heading "**Surya's Lesa Padihayaga Pavva**", twenty mountains that obstruct the Surya's rays are mentioned. Here, all the speakers should be considered according to the original text.
2. In the above mentioned section, the compiler of the **Surya Prajnaptti** has considered the twenty names of the **Mandara** mountain as synonyms and has harmonized them.
