Sri Arya Sapthakam of Lord Surya – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||







I shall meditate upon supreme Lord Surya who is decorated in lotus flowers and releases intense heat waves, he has crimson colored lips like Shuka/parrot, he initiates from the East, he is decked in magnificent ear rings.  Victory to Lord Surya who is worshiped during the hours of dawn and dusk by Lord Parameshwara/Thrinethra whose lotus feet is with the constant touches of the crowns of the deities, he is the source of supreme brilliance.  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Surya who is the precious ornament of Udhayachala, he is the commander of heavenly planets, he is the Choodamani/precious ornament in the sky, and he shines as the magnificent ear stud in all directions.    Victory to Lord Surya who is the provider of happiness to the living beings, he destroys the darkness with his brilliant rays, he is crimson colored sphere resembles to lotus flower.   Victory to Lord Surya who is the cause for blossoming lotus flowers, kindles the Chakravaha birds, he witnesses all the worlds, he is always enthusiastic in providing auspiciousness to the virtuous.    Victory to Lord Surya who has the resemblance to the precious molten yellow metal, he is capable to awaken the lotus flowers with his rays; I shall earnestly pray to remove all our impurities.   I shall meditate upon supreme Lord Surya who is an added magnificent ornament/Chamaram to Udhayadhri, his chariot is driven by green colored horses that raises crimson colored dust with their hooves, he has green horses and he is attired in green colored garments, he serves as supreme light in the garden like sky.    Victory to Lord Surya who awakes the whole Universe in the early hours of dawn, and turns off at the time of dawn, he is unparalleled, whole Universe resembles lotus flower that blossoms at the hours of dawn and shrivel in the hours of dusk.  Victory to Lord Surya who shines like precious molten yellow metal in the early hours of dawn, his seven horses heave above the ocean by offering admiration.  This Arya Sapthakam is originated from the sacred Sambapuram in the sky.
