I pray to you, O Lord Surya, the First God. Please bless me with your grace, O Creator of day, the Origin of light, my salutations to you.
O Lord Surya, mounted valiantly on a chariot drawn by seven horses, the infinitely energetic Son of Kashyapa, the one who holds a white lotus, to you I offer my humble salutations.
O Lord Surya, bright red in colour, the ancestor of all beings, the god who washes away all sin from our mortal minds, to you I offer my humble salutations.
O Lord Surya, the heroic being with all the virtues of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, the god who washes away all sin from our minds, to you I offer my humble salutations.
O Lord Surya, the massive all-pervading presence of fiery energy, one with ether and air, the god of the cosmos, to you I offer my humble salutations.
O Lord Surya, as beautiful as a red hibiscus flower, with a necklace and earrings adding to your splendour, the holder of the divine discus of destruction and protection, to you I offer my humble salutations.
O Lord Surya, the source of energy that feeds the world and enables life, the god who washes away all sin from our minds, to you I offer my humble salutations.
O Lord Surya, the god of the universe, the granter of wisdom and enlightenment on the path to liberation, the remover of all darkness and sin from our minds, to you I offer my humble salutations.
Thus ends the Surya Ashtaka stotram.
