From
Agni Puraan, 20
Saptamee on Sunday - Vijayaa Saptamee Vrat
Although all Shukla Saptamee belong to Soorya, still there are seven Saptamee -
Jayaa, Vijayaa, Jayantee, Aparaajitaa, Mahaajayaa, Nandaa and Bhadraa which
are very dear to Soorya Bhagavaan. If Shukla Saptamee falls on Sunday, it is
called Vijayaa Saptamee. Any Daan, Snaan (bath), Hom, fast, worship done on
that day destroys all sins. In this fast, eat only once in the evening on
Panchamee; eat only once in the night on Shashthee and do not eat at all on
Saptamee; and do Paaran on Ashtamee." Method of the Vrat and worship on
Jayaa, Jayantee, Aparaajitaa, Mahaajayaa, Nandaa and Bhadraa Saptamee, are
given in Bhavishya Puraan p 115-119.
