Surya stotram of  Saint  Yajnavalkya

(From Bhagwatham 12^th skanda  , chapter 6)

 

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

 

Sri  Ganesaya nama

 

Om namo Bhagawathe aadhiyaakhila,  jagathaam  aathma   swaroopena, Kala Swaroopena, chathurvidha  bhootha  nikaayaanaam, Brahmadhi stamba  paryanthaanaam  , hrudayeshu bahirapi chaakaasa yivoiopaadhinaa avyava dheeya maano bhagavaaneka yeva kshanalava niumeshaa vayavopachitha samvathsara gnenaa paamadhana visargaao pya  mimaam loka yaathraa  manu vahathi

 

Om Salutation to God, who is the soul of the  universe  from the beginning, who has form of time,

Who is inside  and outside of the four types of beings  up to Lord Brahma, who is not hidden by   the great  instrument  like the sky, who forever   gives  light, who using the bricks of time like  Kshana  , lava   and SAmvathsara, absorb  the water   in the earth and again leaving it, looks after   all the affairs   and needs  of  the world.

 

Yadhu ha vaavaa  vibhudarshabha savithara  sthapathyan usavana mahaaraamnaaya vidhinopathishtamaanaa makhila  duritha vrujina bheejaava barjana bhagawatha samabhidhimahi thapanamandalam.

 

Oh greatest  among devas, Oh creator of the living beings, who burns away  all  sins and miseries of those  who pray you  according to the Vedas, who  cures the darkness  of ignorance   within them, we meditate  on your  orbit

 

Ya yiha vaba sthira  chara  nikaranaam nija nikethananaam  mana  indryaasu ganaanathmana  swayamathma antharyaami  prachodhayathi

 

All mobile and immobile  being s depend only on you and you  being in side them  enthuse  their mind, body   and organs to do their work

 

Ya yevemam   lokam   athi karala   vadana anthakara samjnaa jagaragraha gilitham mruthakamiva vichethana avalokayaa   anukampayaa parama kaarunika eekshyai vothabhyaa aharahara savanam sreyasi swadhramaakhya aathmaavasthaane pravarth yathya vanishathi rivaasaadhoonaam bhayamudhira yannatathi.

 

Also this world swallowed by the terrible  python of darkness is lying without   any sensation and you are only one with mercy by your look    made it alive and lead all of them to perform   the ways  of  safety  which are prescribed to it. You also create fear   among the evil  kings.

 

Paritha aasaaphalaisthathra thathra kamala kosanjalibhiru pahrutharhanaa

 

The  kings like Indraa who look after  the world, offer you lotus flower   buds   and worship   you

 

Adhaha bhagavamsthva charana nalina   yugalam tribhuvana gurubhir vandhitha mahamayaa thayaa mayajukama upasaraamithi

 

And so Oh God, I  serve your lotus like feet which are saluted by  Brahma and others who salute    you, for receiving knowledge of portions of Yajurveda not known to others.

 

Yevam sthutha sa  bhagawan  vaaji roopa dharo  hari,

Yajoomshya thayaamaani munayedhath prasaadhitha

 

When prayed like  this the God took the form of a horse,

And taught him the portions of yajur veda  not known to   any one else

 

Ithi Sreimad Bhagawathe Dwadasa  skandhe Yajnavalkya   krutham

Soorya stotram   sampoornam

 

Thus ends   the prayer of Yajnavalka   to  Sun god  which occurs in 12^th  Skanda  of Bhagawatha Purana
