Sri Adithya Ashtakam – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||







I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Adithya who dwells in Udhayadhri and spreads supreme brilliance of precious gem, he is fascinating to lotus flowers, he destroys illnesses, impurities and greatest of the sins, he is Amshumali.  I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Aditya who removes the intense darkness, he is beyond perception, and he lures the hearts of living beings in the Universe.    I shall surrender to the lotus feet of supreme Lord Adithya, who is known through Veda and philosophies, he is not perceivable through bare eyes, he is the sole light to the Universe that appears marvelously at the hours of dawn and dusk.    I shall surrender to the lotus feet of supreme Lord Adithya who affirms the difference of day and night, he is mysterious and eternal, he is supreme Lord whose glories are eulogized by the deities.    I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Adithya who is the essence of sacred Veda and sacred scriptures, he is unharmed by Jara/aging or Maranam/death, he is supreme Lord with majestic looks, he has supreme brilliance.  I shall surrender to the lotus feet of supreme Lord Adithya who has majestic chariot drawn by the horses that has the colors of Shuka/parrot and the lips of parrot; he is the commander of Jyothirmandala/solar celestial sphere.  I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Surya who is fond of his ardent devotees, he is the destroyer of all the sins, he is eternal, he is the cause of Universe.  I shall surrender to the lotus feet of Lord Surya who explore through the heights of Mount Meru on his celestial chariot. 


Whoever recites or listens to the glorious verses of Suryashtakam with utmost devotion and faith would be relieved from all kinds of illnesses and sins, ultimately attains the effulgence of Lord Surya.
