:e ity āgneye mahāpurāṇe ṣaṣṭhīvratāni nāma ekāśītyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ || chapter {182} :ś atha dvyaśītyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ || saptamīvratāni agnir uvāca saptamīvratakaṃ vakṣye sarveṣāṃ bhuktimuktidaṃ(2) māghamāse 'bjake śukle sūryaṃ prārcya viśokabhāk

Thus (ends) in the Āgneya Mahāpurāṇa the one hundred and eighty-first chapter, called 'The Sixth-day Observances'. Chapter 182. Now the one hundred and eighty-second chapter: the Seventh-day Observances. Agni said: I shall declare the seventh-day observance, which gives enjoyment and liberation to all: in the month of Māgha, in the bright (fortnight), in the abjaka (rite), having worshipped the Sun, one partakes of freedom from sorrow.
