Meaning
This “Sri Surya Nama Varnana Stotram” appears in the Bhavishya Purana, where Lord Brahma himself reveals the sacred names that please the Sun God. The stotram lists the divine names of Surya — each name expressing a unique power, form, or cosmic function of the Sun.
The hymn begins with Brahma declaring that whoever recites these names with devotion pleases Lord Surya immensely. The names such as Surya, Ravi, Bhanu, Bhaskara, Martanda, Vivasvan portray the Sun as the source of light, heat, life and cosmic order. Names like Aditya, Adideva, Rasmi-mali, Divakara, Mihira, Agni highlight His radiant, purifying and energizing forms.
He is described as the Lord of the directions, sustainer of the worlds, giver of rain, remover of darkness, the embodiment of dharma, truth and cosmic intelligence. The stotram acknowledges Surya as the Lord of the seven worlds, the master of planetary bodies, the sustainer of all beings, and the divine source behind the twelve Adityas.
The concluding verses (phalaśruti) declare that one who recites these names every morning and evening obtains all desires — wealth, health, knowledge, progeny, kingdom, and relief from diseases and bondage. Even great celestial beings attained greatness through the grace of Surya, as the hymn emphasizes.
