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."
