पुराणम्
English
मग स् / MAGA (S). The brahmins residing in the island of śāka are generally called Magas. The Brahmaparva of bhaviṣya purāṇa and the sāmba purāṇa speak about the Magas thus:
sāmba, son of kṛṣṇa, did severe penance to please Sūryadeva and pleased with the unwavering devotion of sāmba, sūrya gave him a luminous replica of himself for worship. sāmba constructed a beautiful temple by the side of the Candrabhāgā river and installed the idol there. He then brought from śākadvīpa the brahmins called Magas for conducting the ceremonies of the temple. All the eighteen families of maga brahmins came and stayed near the temple at the request of sāmba.
