Since time immemorial people all over the world have

been worshipping the Sun-God. In t

different elements of nature were deified ;

and Goddesses, Sun had also occupied a prominent

many respects He is an embodiment of natural and super-natu-
ral powers. Philosophically analysed, the Sun-God has been
identified with the Vital Principle in man and in cosmos.

In Mexican,
of the Sun-God is remarkable. Excavations at different places

in Mexico, Egypt and Iran have revealed that people in very

olden times were worshipping the Sun-God. Besides these ar-

eas, people in the whole of Southern Europe, the East, North-

East America and Australia were also worshipping the Sun in

some form or other.

Sun is indeed the symbol of the Supreme,

resplendent mamtestai of the Brahman. In sacerdotal Brah-
manism the Asvamedl •

foes in one hand and progeny and prosperity on the other. In

this sacrifice the presiding deity is Suryadeva, the Sun-God.

The horse which is sacrificed in this holy performance is the

symbol of the Sun-God too.

civilization. There is clear cut evidence that the people of Indus

valley civilization worshipped the Sun-God. According to

Marshall, the wheel, circle with radiant rays, bird and the bull
artd the swastika mark were the symbols of the Sun. The seals
and potteries that came to light bear such symbols of the Sun-
God.
In Japan the Sun-God is worshipped in the name of
1

Nitten. In ancient Greece Apollo has been described as the

Sun-God.

Sun-God in the Vedic Literature

There is every probability that the Proto- Aryans who were
the common ancestors of the Vedic Aryans and the Iranian Ary-
ans lived in the Balkh area in Afghanistan of Central Asia and
prayed to the. Sun-God. The Rg Vedic poets were deeply moved
by the mysterious working of the awe-inspiring forces of nature.
Since Vedic times the ancestors have recognised the divine
power in the sun. The sun is the greatest source of light. Light
is the symbol of knowledge. The sun in the Rg Veda may be
identified with the Brahman, the Supreme Reality. 2
In the Vedic period the Sun-God has been adored by the
Vedic seers. This God saves the individual from sin, shame, dis-
honour and disease. Not only does He offer blessings but also 1

gives wealth, health, fame and food. His seven horses along
with the chariot have been described in the Rg Veda 3 Some-.

mother 5 and sometimes as his beloved . He is verily the sole

cause of this world.

Among the natural phenomena it is the sun which is the

most dominant expression of grandeur. With the rising of the

sun all the living beings of the whole world awake to life and
when the sun sets, there is the inactivity of sleep, the seeming
death. So it is quite obvious on the part of the primitive mind
to conceive the sun as the one source of life and energy. It is

noteworthy that the worship of the sun was a universal phenom-

enon since antiquity. Thus in the Vedic age the Sun-God of the
primitive mind got transformed and sublimated. He became the

j. He in fact is the supra cosmic, eternal,

imeless. He supports this cosmic manifestation

The Rgveda speaks of five solar deities. They are

Savitrdeva, Surya, Mitra, Pusan and Visnu. These Gods have

been independently praised. Sometimes they are associated
with other deities.

 viii Suryasatakam

A deep study of the Rg Vedic mythology proves that the

mythological concepts of Mitra and Aryaman are a sort of ex-
tension of the concept of Varuna 9 .

Savitr is the stimulator God. He is a golden deity with

golden hands and golden arms. He ascends a golden car too. He
raises his golden arms to bless all the creatures. The other Gods
follow Savitr's lead. No being, not even the most powerful Gods
Indra and Varuna go against his will.

In the Rg Veda Savitr stands for the enlivening or quick-

ening aspect of the sun. The world 'Savitf literally means-the
impeller or enlivener. He is good-complexioned. He beholds
all creatures. At times in the Rg Veda Savitr has been described
as different from Surya and sometimes both are spoken of indis-
criminately. According to Sayana, the sun is called Savitr be-
fore rising. From sunrise to sunset the sun is called Surya.
However, Yaska holds, "The time of Savitr's appearance is when
darkness has been removed and the rays of light have become
diffused over the sky." Oldenberg does not take Savitr in ex-
actly same as Surya. But Hillebrandt on the other hand opines
that there are enough justifications in the Rg Veda to prove that
10
both are the same. Many scholars believe that the sun at the
down is Savitr, the Ultimate Principle".

Surya is the God of dyuloka, the celestial world. He is a

God of Indo-European origin. Surya (cognate inname to the
Greek Helios) has been addressed in about ten hymns of the Rg

the eye of Surya or the eye of Mitra-Varuna of Agni or the Gods.

Surya not only sees everything, but also is the spy of the entire

world. Sometimes Surya is described as having one horse or

sometimes seven swift horses. Usas produces Surya. Like a

lover Surya follows the radiant Goddess Usas. He arouses all
sleeping beings, specially human beings and engages them in

a mottled bull or a brilliant steed. He is the gem He

is also described as a variegated stone set amidst Heaven. He is

also described as a brilliant weapon, a wheel. His primary job

is to dispel darkness. He casts off this darkness like a skin. He
measures the days and prolongs life. It is said that he drives

away diseases and also evil dreams. He is all-creating. All liv-

17

matter of this hymn is the wedding of Surya, the daughter of

Surya, viz. the dawn, with Soma, the moon. Here the two
Asvins have played the role of bride-suitors.
When Surya rolls up the dark like a skin, the stars slik

away like thieves. When Surya shines forth from the lap of the
dawn, Gods place him in heaven as a form of Agni. Surya is
20
said to be the face of Agni . He is verily the life of the whole
21
world.

There is a hymn of Aruna in the 'prathama prasna' of the

Taittiriya Aranyaka of the Krsna Yajurveda. It has got 130 pas-
sages written in prose. The rsi is Aruna. The devata is Aditya.
Mitra stands for the beneficent side of the sun's power. He
is primarily a pre-Vedic deity 22 . He may be compared with the
Zoroastrian God Mithra. It is significant to note that only one
23
hymn has been fully addressed to Mitra. So Ghate rightly
opines that Mitra though one of the oldest Gods of the Rg Veda,
owing to his identification with the Iranian Mithra, has lost his
24
independent individuality in the Rg Veda .

Mitra manly stimulates people to activity. He holds fast

both the earth and the heaven. Primarily he watches the people
ceaselessly. Mitra is generally invoked along with Varuna.
Pusan has been invoked in some eight hymns of the Rg
Veda. He is the Prosperer God. It is the beneficent power of
the great god sun. He is manifested mainly as a pastoral deity.
His car is drawn by goats. He carries a goad. Thus he is a shep-

Pusan possesses beard and braided hair. He carries a golden

spear, an awl and a goad. Karambha "gruel" is his favourite

food. He is specially connected with marriage in the wedding

hymn 26
. He acts as the envoy of Surya with his golden aerial

ships and as a charioteer drives downward the golden wheel of

the sun.
27
Most probably, this god is the beneficent power of
the sun manifested mainly for its pastoral aspect.

In the Upanisads Pusan simply stands for the sun .

Visnu is partly Aryan as it is a form of the Sun-God. It is

partly Dravidian as sky-God whose colour is blue like the

it is a

sky. The term Visnu may be compared to Tamil Vin "sky" and

the Middle Indo-Aryan or Prakrt form of Visnu which is vinhu

29
or venhu .

In the Rg Veda Visnu is less frequently invoked than

Surya, Savitr and Pusan. He takes three strides (tripat) cover-

ing the three worlds. This refers to the course of the sun. Ac-
cording to Sakapuni, an ancient commentator, these three strides
are the three manifestations of one and the same God, Agni on

earth, Indra or Vayu in the atmosphere and sun in heaven. But

Aurnababha holds that they are the rising, culminating and set-

ting of the sun.

In later literature this God became prominent. He is per-

sonified as a swiftly moving luminary which with vast strides

traverses the three worlds. He takes three steps for the benefit
30
of all human beings . In the Brahmana literature and later

Puranic literature these three strides take the shape of Ball-

Vamana myth, a dwarf form of Visnu recovering the earth from
the demons headed by Ball by taking these strides which are
three in number. However, B.G. Tilak interprets it differently.

According to him, these three strides refer to the annual course

when the year was divided as at the circumpolar regions into

three parts, of which two parts or eight months, the sun is above
the horizon and so the two strides of Visnu are said to be visible
and the third part or four months, the sun goes below the hori-
zon into the netherworld of darkness of waters making only
darkness all around and thus this third stride remains invisible.
Sipivista refers to the temporary obscuring the rays of the sun

when he goes to the nether world 31 .

Thus Visnu in the Rg Veda is a great pervader, from vis 'to

pervade'.

Worship of Sun-God«A Panacea to Cure Leprosy

In ancient times the science of Ayurveda in India believed
that sun is a natural element to cure leprosy. In the Rg Veda 32
Surya has been invoked as a great healer. Even outside India

this belief is also there. Herodotus states that people of Persia

.
in olden days believed that committing sin against Sun is the
basic cause of suffering from leprosy.

The Markandeya Purana narrates the story of a Kausika

Brahmin of Pratisthana who was suffering from leprosy. The
devoted wife of the Brahmin was wholeheartedly serving her
husband. Days rolled away. Once for some reason Ani-
Mandavya, a sage got angry with the Brahmin and cursed him
that he would face an untimely death before the next sunrise.

The Brahmin's wife, chaste as she was, gave an order to the sun
not to rise because rising of the sun would bring imminent dan-
ger to the life of her husband. As a result the whole universe re-
mained in the dark. Gods in the heaven were stricken with
panic. They approached Atri's wife Anasuya to help them in
persuading the leper's wife to allow the sun to rise and thereby
save the universe from destruction. But the Brahmin's wife
agreed to the proposal that she was ready to do so on the con-
dition that the sage's curse would not be effective. Anasuya, the
chaste lady agreed to her condition. Thereafter, the sun was
,
allowed to rise in the sky. Immediately after sunrise the leper
died. Anasuya prayed to lord Surya who gave life to the leper
and the leper got a healthy and handsome figure. Gods were
pleased and thanked Anasuya. They all requested her to
beg a boon. Anasuya expressed her wish that let Brahma, Visnu
and Mahesvara be born to her as her sons. Afterwards,
Dattatreya was born who was none but Visnu Himself and as has
already been discussed, in the Vedic mythology Visnu is none
but the Sun-God.

Rightly has it been said-arogyam bhaskarad ichhet.

One should desire to be cured by the blessing of the Sun-
God. So, for the physical and mental health of the family mem-
bers lord Sun is worshipped.

The Sun-God is an Aditya. The Adityas are a group of
gods. Six entire hyms and parts of two hymns
are there in the

Rg Veda to praise the Adityas. Originally, there wereseven

Aditya
Adityas. In one passage of the last mandala, an eighth
jetting
called Martanda, which most probably referred to the
sun, has been added to the list. Surya is the seventh Aditya.

Savitr is also another Aditya. The Atharva Veda speaks of eight

Adityas. The Brahmana literature enhances the number to
twelve. In the post- Vedic literature there is a constant descrip-

tion of twelveSun-Gods which are connected with the twelve

months of a year. Mitra, Aryaman, Bhaga, Varuna, Dhatr,
Rudra, Surya, Vivasvat, Pusan, Savitr, Tvastr and Visnu have
been many times referred to in the post- Vedic literature. In the

Brahmana literature and post-Brahmana literature Surya is

called Aditya. t

in the religious sphere of India. They are-

has occupied a prominent position in Hindu mythology. Bio-

logical sciences have proved the role of the sun for the develop-
ment of the organic world. Sun is really the primary force.
Without the sua there can be no photosynthesis and without
photosynthesis there can be no existence of the organic world.
Evolution is possible only due to the sun.

In Valmlki's Ramayanam 34 sage Agastya teaches Sri Rama

the Aditya-hrdayastotra which is a prayer addressed to the Sun-
God. Agastya teaches Rama this prayer to the Sun-God to en-
able him to win the battle with the demon king Ravana. In this
stotra Surya has been described as the lord of Brahma, Visnu
and Mahesvara, the Hindu trinity.

The brilliance of the Sun-God has been magnificently de-

scribed in poetic form. Surya-deva is the patron of all living
beings on earth. The epic further speaks of the urdhvabahu as-
cetics who were praying Lord Sun 35
regularly.

In the Mahabharata 36 quite a good number of devotees

called the Sauras are said to be worshipping the sun. Farquhai31

points out that in the Mahabharata for the first time one can see
the reference to a sect called the Sauras who were sun-worship-
pers. In the Mahabharata 38 Yudhisthira has been described to
have propitiated the Sun-God by chanting 108 names of the
great God and by serving food to thousands of Brahmins.

In both the epics mentioned above, the Sun-God has been

depicted almost in the same manner so far as the essence and

character of Surya is concerned. Surya is regarded as the Su-

creations,
preme Soul, the Lord of all the Gods, the cause of all ^
the self-existent and the unborn.

The Sauras justify the sun as the Summum Bonum. Ac-

cording to Anandagiri, there were six sections of the Sauras.

However, the common characteristic features in them were us-

ing red sandal paste on the body, wearing red flowers and re-
peatedly chanting the Surya-Gayatri consisting of eight sylla-
bles.

The number of devotional lyrics in Sanskrit literature is so

large that it is indeed very difficult to mention all their names.

In the Puranic literature the Sun-God has maintained his own

dignity. The Brahma Purana (XXVIII-XXXIII) sings the glory
of Suryadeva. The Markandeya Purana (CH-CX) also glorifies
theSun-God. As a Vaisnavite Purana the Bhagavata Purana (V
21.22) describes Surya as a natural manifestation of lord Visnu.
Besides, among theMahapuranas, the Visnu Purana (11.10),
Agni Purana (LI, LXXIII, XCIX), Kurma Purana (XL-XLII),
Garuda Purana (VII, XVI, XVII, XXXIX), Bhavisya Purana
(Brahma Parvan, CXXXIX-CXLI), Matsya Purana (LXXIV- ,

LXXX) and Skanda Purana (Prabhasa Khanda) sing the glory of

the sun. Among the Upapuranas the Sambapurana, Suryapura-

na, Sauradharmapurana and the Sauradharmottarapurana deal

with the Sun-cult. However, the Surya-purana, Sauradharmapu-
rana and the Sauradharmottarapurana have been lost.

The Samba Purana is a unique upapurana which exclu-

sively deals with the cult of the Sun. The story goes like this.

Samba establishes an image of the Sun at Sambapura in

Mitravana. He settles 18 families of Magi priests brought from

Iran or Sakadvipa for its regular worship. This work deals with
some stories relating to creation, solar system in general,

eclipses, geography of the earth physical description of the sun

and the attendants of this deity, construction o :se images etc.

A careful that this work

consists of several groups of chapters written

ers belonging to different regions and times. The earliest por

tions have been written in the western region of northern India

between 500 A.D. and 800 A.D. 39 . Samba had constructed this
temple at Mulasthana (modern Multan) of the Mitravana. It is

said that this historic sun temple had been visited by Hiuen
Tsang and Alberuni. It was there upto 17th Cent. A.D. But this
was later demolished by King Aurangzeb.

Iconographic Evidence of the Worship of Sun-God

Tradition holds that at Multan in North-West India the first
temple of Sun-God was constructed in the reign of Kaniska in
2nd Cent. A.D. In Kashmir there is the Martanda temple. This
temple has been constructed by King Lalitaditya (699-736
A.D.). believed that originally there was a smaller temple
It is

here constructed by Ramaditya. Later, on the ruins of this tem-

ple Lalitaditya built a bigger Sun" temple. The Osia Sun-temple
has been built in 8th Cent. A.D. near Jodhpur. This temple
probably belongs to the Pratihara period.
In 11th Cent. A.D. the temple of Sun-God was built at

atmosphere of spiritual grace. The temple faces east so

rising sun at the equinoxes filters in a golden cadence through

its openings, from door way to corridor, past columned vesti-

bules finally to fall on the image in its innermost chamber. In

their passage, the rays of the heavenly body, to which the shrine

is consecrated, quiver and shimmer on pillars and archway, giv-

appearing radiant and clothed in glory. To see this noble

Konark is regarded as the last monument of worshipping

Sun-God. The Black Pagoda or the celebrated Konark temple

has been built by King Narasimha Deva (1238-1264 A.D.).
It

is, so to say, the greatest of Orissa's monuments. It is the finest

articulation of the creative genius of the people of Orissa.

It is

no doubt a wonderful monument, a priceless heritage of all

mankind.
The whole temple is in the form of a celestial car with 24

wheels and drawn by 7 steeds. It goes without saying that it is

t

the most achievement of Orissa's temple architecture.

 Introduction xix

The construction of the Black Pagoda marks the zenith of

, Orissa's artistic exuberance and architectural efflorescence.

Wonderfully enough it reached the pinnacle of the art movement

in Orissa. The life-size loving couples, the celestial musicians
playing cymbals, drums and flutes are highly remarkable. This
place is known as Arka-Ksetra. As per the local records twelve
hundred skilled workers worked for a period of twelve years to
construct the temple. The revenue of twelve hundred villages

was utilized for this purpose for such a long time.

Most probably, the cult of Sun spread from the North In-

dia to the South. Figures around 2nd Cent. B.C. are found to be
42 43
very simple. In the Bodh Gaya and Bhaja one can come
across such simple figures. Here the Sun-God wears a turban on
his head. He rides on a chariot drawn by four horses. The Sun-
God of the mediaeval period on the other hand wears a Klrti-
mukuta.
The image traced at Hatodi is of the Late Gupta period, viz.
around 7th-8th Cent. A.D. Images from Bhita44 and Chillah 45
bear much affinity. The Surya figure recovered from Hatodi, a
' small village 6 to 7 kms. away from Ramtek in Nagpur district
46
is a unique one . This image is of red stone. The height is of
one foot only. God Surya is depicted in a standing posture, fac-
ing upward, holding a small bunch of lotus flowers with short
stalks in his two hands. Both the hands have been raised upto

the shoulders. He has been clad with a full-sleeve cloth with a

scarf over the arms. The deity wears an ekavali with nayaka- *

mani (bead) in the centre. Ears are adorned with kundalas.

With a big wrist let and a bunch of bangles he stands with a halo
behind the head. There is a cylindrical crown too. A part of the
waist is found missing. It is a carved image with a smiling face.

It is a product of the Mathura school.

Zimmer gives reference to the earliest depiction of Sun-
God traced at Bhaja in the Buddhist caves of Western
Maharashtra. At Ellora also this God is found to have promi-

nence. Pandey points out that in the Western and Southern
Maharashtra one can see more images of Sun-God. In

Amaravati in Vidarbha a Sun-temple of Lord Aditya has been

constructed. This temple was there under the patronage of the

Rastrakuta king Krsnaraja I.

In the Central Museum of Nagpur two standing Surya fig-

ures belonging to 8th-9th Cent. A.D. can be found collected

from Bhandak in the district of Chandrapur. The figure of Sun-
God with a horse-chariot also has been collected there from
Ramtek. This figure belongs to 17th Cent. A.D.
A Hari-Hara-Pitamaha-Arka icon where Brahma, Visnu,
Siva and Surya are there, occurs in the Register no. 1 on the
West face of the Markanda Rsi temple of Chandrapur district. It

belongs to 10th-l 1th Cent. A.D. Here the Sun-God possesses

eight arms. The charioteer Aruna is shown below driving the

horses.

At Gudimallam in North Arcot there is the Parasurames-

vara temple. In this temple the image of Sun is worshipped.

This image belongs to 7th Cent. A.D. Bare-footed Sun-God

stands here on a pedestal. It is significant to note that neither the

charioteer Aruna nor the horses are present here. The upper part

of his body is bare. His hands are raised upto the shoulders. He
holds two lotus buds. This place is called Arka-sthala or

Prabhasa-ksetra, the abode of the Sun-God.

In many Surya images found in North India, the common

feature is that their hands hold full-blown lotuses and they wear
boots. But on the contrary half-blossomed lotus can be found
in the Sun images in South India and such images have bare

feet. Secondly, the charioteer Aruna and the seven horses are

always present in the North Indian images while in the South

Indian images they are often absent. The attendants of Surya
such as Dandl, Pihgala, the arrow shooting deity Usa and
Pratyusa the consorts of Sun God such as Niksubha, Chaya,

Sanjna etc. are invariably present with the Sun-God in the North

Indian images while they are sometimes absent in South Indian

images.
Both North and South Indian features are mixed in some
images of Sun-God preserved in the Malda museum of North
Bengal. Some images are bare-footed, some wear half-boots
and are accompanied by Aruna, seven horses and the attend-

Epigraphic Proof of Sun-Worship

The earliest epigraphic reference to the Sun-God can be
had from a temple of 7th Cent. A.D. at Manapur, modern Manor
in PalgharTaluka of Thana district in Western Maharashtra 52 .

In the 7th Cent. A.D. Banabhatta in his Harsacaritam refers

to King Harsa and Harsa's father Prabhakaravardhana as great
devotees of Suryadeva. Epigraphic proofs also support this
view. The copper plate grant of Harsavardhana 53 is a proof of
it. The epigraphic proofs support that Prabhakaravardhana's
father Adityavardhana and grandfather Rajyavardhana were
devoted to the Sun-God. The word parama-aditya-bhaktas sup-
ports this Srlvajrinldevyam utpannah paramadityabhakto maha-

Only because of their devotion towards the Sun-God, the

names of the Kings have been given Adityavardhana and Pra-
bhakaravardhana.

Date of Mayurabhatta
There are numerous works in Sanskrit where we are igno-

the date of a poet-

2. Extrinsic Proof

Judged from the intrinsic point of view the work the

Suryasatakam is totally silent about the date of the poet. So one

God. So Winternitz 61 states that there is more probability to say

that Mayura was an older contemporary of Bana.

Personal History
Like most of the poets in Sanskrit the personal history of
Mayura is shrouded in mystery. Traditions mainly differ with
regard to his relationship with Banabhatta.

Sometimes he is said to be the father-in-law of Banabhatta.

mayuro nama panditah prativasati sma, tajjamata

According to Aggarwal63 there is an ill-authenticated tra-

dition that the poet described the physical charm of his daugh-
ter so minutely that the daughter cursed him to suffer from Lep-
rosy and Mayura as a result suffered from this fatal disease.

Thereafter he composed this panegyric, the Suryasatakam and

got rid of the disease. Tradition gives emphasis on the follow-
ing verse-

gatapraya ratrih krsatanu sasi siryata iva

pradipo'yam nidravasamupagato ghurnita iva I

pranamanto manastadapi na jahasi krudhamaho

It is said that the first three lines of the above verse have
been sung by Banabhatta, but the last line was composed and
sung by Mayurabhatta. At that time Banabhatta's wife was very
much present on the spot. But judged from the linguistic point

Iyer is of the view that Mayura was born blind. It is said
that the poet got back his eye sight after composing this poem
in the praise of the Sun-God.

Original Works
Mayurabhatta has written the panegyric the Suryasata-
10
kam . This is an original work of the poet.
Out of 101 verses, 100 verses are benedictory in nature.
The last one speaks out the poet's intention that for the well-be-
ing of this world the poet with devotion in his mind has written
the work. Sometimes God Surya, sometimes the group of
horses of the Sun-God and at other times the chariot or the chari-
oteer is requested to bestow blessings. Sometimes the poet
praises the orb of the Sun.

Tribhuvanapala in his commentary makes six divisions of

this work. Verses from 1 to 43 speak of the praise to the rays of
the Sun-God. Verses 44-49 deal with the horses of the Sun-
God. In verses 50-61 the charioteer Aruna is praised. Verses
62-72 describe the chariot of the great God. Verses 73-80 de-
scribe the Surya-mandala minutely. The last twenty verses de-
pict the sun in many ways.
The poet describes the rays of the sun and compares them
with ships by which an individual can cross the ocean of rebirth,
the root of prolonged torture.

The orb of the sun is nothing but the door of emancipation.

The sun one with Brahma, Visnu and Mahesvara (Verses 9,
is

manager whose job is to recite the prologue verse in the begin-

ning of a drama.

Ascribed Works
Among the works ascribed to Mayura, the most popular is
11
the Mayurastakam. As the name shows, this work contains
eight verses in all. It is the description of the beauty of a young
lady. The sexual appetite of the poet is clear from the descrip-
tion- brddho'pi kamayate. In the beginning of the Mayurastakam
there is a prayer to Lord Siva and to Lord Visnu. Rest of the
verses deal with the youthful exuberance of the young lady. The
poem describes the beauty of a young woman who secretly vis-

its her lover and gets back from his bed-chamber. Very beau-
tifully in a picturesque manner the poet describes her wounds
12
caused by scratches and bites. Winternitz observes that
Mayura has exhibited his accurate knowledge of Kamasutra in
the Mayurastaka.

According to a tradition Mayura in these lovely verses has

given an obscene description of the beauty of his daughter, the
wife of Banabhatta for which the girl got angry with her father
and cursed him. For this reason the poet turned into a leper.
Later, he was cured through the blessings of the Sun-God whom
he eulogized in his work the Suryasatakam.

The simple language and the lucid style of the Mayurasta-

kam varies greatly from the stiff language and tedious style of
the Suryasatakam. It varies so much that it can be stated with
confidence that this work Mayurastakam has been wrongly as-

71 . Mayurastaka, ed. and tr. into Eng. by G.P. Quackenbos in the JAOS,

University, Indo-Iranian Series, p. 67 ff, also F.E. Edgerton,

72. M. Winternitz, op. cit., p. 149

XXX Suryasatakam

cribed to Mayura. Or, this work may be of another poet called

Mayura and not the writer of the Suryasatakam. Tripathy has

13
tried to show that the Mayurastakam is an early work of

Mayura. But there is a world of difference between these two

works and Mayura, the writer of the Suryasatakam can never be
the writer of Mayurastkam.
14
Biihler wrongly ascribes the book Aryamuktamala to
Mayura. Some scholars are of the opinion that this Aryamukta-
mala is the work a Maharashtrian poet of 8th Century called 1

Ramananda Mayura or Maropanta.

Sabdalingarthacandrika, a commentary on a work Dhana-

15
njaya has also been ascribed to Mayura. William Taylor holds

that this commentary has been written by Mayura. But Taylor

has not given sufficient proofs to establish his point.

Some stray verses of subhasitas have also been ascribed to

Mayura by the later rhetoricians.

One khandaprasasti of Mayura has been cited by

76
Ruyyaka.

Literary Style
11
Keith recognises the worth of Suryasatakam and states
that this is a work of no inconsiderable merit. Mayura is a bet-

ter known lyric poet. Literary critics have given greater appro-
bation to Mayura's work. The poetry of the Suryasatakam has

been appreciated by the writers on literary criticism for its im-

agination and style. It is filled with various imageries. Most
of the ideas are suggested and not directly expressed.

Judged from the metrical point of view, the entire book

Suryasatakam has been composed in Sragdhara metre.
mrabhnairyanam trayena trimuniyatiyuta sragdhara
79
kirtiteyam.

This metre contains 21 syllables and in every seventh there

is a pause. Since 7 syllables form a group and the poet is going
to describe the seven horses of the sun-God, some scholars are
of the view that Mayura has deliberately chosen this metre to
solve the purpose.

Upadhyay80 has rightly pointed out that it is the first kavya

which has been written entirely in Sragdhara metre.
Kalidasa the brightest luminary in the firmament of San-
skrit literature has written the Meghadutam fully in one metre
viz. Mandakranta. It is said-

pravrt-pravasa-vyasane mandakranta virajate.

The metre Mandakranta is a befitting one so far as the con-

tents of the book is concerned. Kalidasa is earlier than Mayura.
So it is obvious that Mayura must have gone through the works

impressed Mayura. As a result, Mayura decided to take up one
metre for his work, the Suryasatakam. He chose Sragdhara as

it is a befitting one for benedictory stanzas. Kalidasa has used

this metre in the beginning of his famous drama the Abhijnana-
sakuntalam. This verse of Kalidasa is also a benidictory one.

So the impact of Kalidasa on Mayura in choosing the metre is

clear.

Mayura's style is Gaudi. Winternitz* compares the Surya-
satakam with the Candisatakam of Banabhatta. Both the works
have been written in the same ornate style. Since the manuals

of Poetics and anthologies have cited the Suryasatakam more, it

may be stated that the Suryasatakam was looked at more in high

esteem than the Candisatakam.
Mayura has utilised various figures of speech in his kavya.
Slesa, Upama, Rupaka and Utpreksa are the favourite figures of

speech of the poet.

Anuprasa (Alliteration)- Verses 6, 33, 36 and 70.
Slesa (Double entendre)- Verses 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 20, 24,

Mayura has made less use of the Tulyayogita alamkara.
The poet has employed Anuprasa very frequently in his poem
which is an essential feature of Gaudi rlti. So Upadhyay* 5
calls
Mayura a sabda-kavi because Mayura has given more emphasis
on the language (bhasa) than the content (bbava).

Impact of Vatsabhatti on Mayura

Vatsabhatti is the writer of a Prasasti inscribed on stone at
6
Mandasore* . The whole writing consists of 44 verses. The
writing has been inscribed on stone in a Sun temple. It is a very
beautiful work written in kavya style. It is a pity that no other
work of this poet has come down to us. His name also is not
found in the works of the later rhetoricians.

The first three verses of this work have praised the Sun-
God. The first verse runs like this-

yo vrttyarthamupasyate suraganaih
siddhaisca siddhyarthibhir
dhyanaikagraparair vidheya-visayair
moksarthibhiryogibhih I

bhaktya tivratapodhanaisca munibhih

sapaprasadaksamair

85. Acharya B. Upadhyay, op. cit. p. 350.

86. D.B. Diskalkar, op. cit., p. 61, Mandasore Stone Inscription of
Kumaragupta and Bandhuvarman (473 A.D.) inscribed on a black
stone slab in a Sun temple.
xxxiv Suryasatakam

heturyo jagatah ksayabhyudayayoh payat

sa vo bhaskarah II

The translation of the above verse is given below-

"May the Sun, the very cause of the origin and destruction

of the world protect you, (Sun) who is worshipped by many

gods for their own safety, by the siddhas who aspire for higher
accomplishments, by the yogins who solely are in meditation

with their desires controlled as they seek liberation; and by the

seers who practise severe austerities, and are capable of cursing

as well as favouring."

The second verse runs like this-

tattvajnana vido 'pi yasya na

vidurbrahmarsayo 'bhyudyatah
krtsnam yas'ca gabhastibhih
pravisrtaih pusnati lokatrayam I

gandharvamarasiddha kinnaranaraih
samstuyate' bhyutthito
bhaktebhyas'ca dadati yo'bhilasitam
tasmai savitre namah II

The translation is given below-

"Adoration to the Sun whom even the Brahmanical sages

though knowing the Truth fail to comprehend, who nourishes '

the three worlds with his rays stretched in all directions, who is
praised by the Gandharvas, gods, Siddhas, Kinnaras and men at
the time of his rise and who fulfils the desires of his devotees."

The third verse runs as follows-

yah pratyaham prativibhatyudayacalendra-

vistirnatungasikharaskhalitansujalah I

ksibanganajana kapola talabhitamrah

payat sa vah sukiranabharano vivasvan II
 Introduction xxxv

The translation is given below-

"May the Sun, adorned with glorious beams protect you;
Who shines brightly daily with his rays flowing down over the
expanding summit of the mountains of the East and who is red-
dish like the cheeks of an intoxicated woman."
1
Biihler* rightly points out "Amongst the court poets there
is one Mayura, in whose Suryasataka, a prayer addressed to the
Sun, we have almost every one of the ideas contained in the
verses above, repeated and with much the same form of expres-
sion."

When Vatsabhatti describes the Sun as the creator and the

destroyer of the whole world, Mayura in verse 99 identifies him
with Brahma, Visnu and Mahesvara, the creator, preservator and
destroyer respectively of this universe. Mayura like Vatsabhatti

describes how men offer to the Sun prayers at dawn. In verse 13

Mayura describes how seers praise the Sun's rays and in verse

36 the Gandharvas eulogize the lustre of the rising Sun. In verse

81 the Siddhas, gods, Gandharvas etc. make prayers to the Sun-

God in the morning.
In the third verse the reddish morning Sun is compared
with the reddened cheeks of an intoxicated woman. Such com-
parisons are very common in the writings of the court poets.
Just as Asvaghosa taught the religion of Buddhism to the
world through his kavyas, the Saundarananda and the Buddha-
carita, one can say that Mayura has tried to teach the philosophy
of Vedanta through his Suryasatakam to the people of this
world. Though the poet's power of imagination
much is less as
compared to Kalidasa, Bharavi and Magha, Mayura still shines
as a bright luminary in the firmament of Sanskrit li terature.

Artificial Poetry", Indian Antiquary, 1913 Also D.B. Diskalkar,

The early rays of the Sun look red as if they have resumed
the thick streaks of vermilion, coming out of the temple of el-

ephant of the killer of Jambha (Indra). They also appear as if

they are drenched by the mineral streams of the slopes of

Udayacala (mountain). Carrying the lustre of the blooming lo-

tus, that open up at their advent, they illuminate the whole

world. May those rays bestow prosperity on you.l

have bodies festered with wounds, nose feet and hands emaci-

His rays vindicate his unbounded and unimpeded compassion
and are always worshipped by the Siddhas. May those rays

Lord Siva as if apprehending the loss of lustre of the moon

on his head, Brahma too fearing the closure of the newly blos-
somed lotus wherein he sits, and lord Krsna afraid of losing
black colour of his body, try to propitiate the early morning Sun.
May that little appearance of the rays of the Sun protect you. 1

A night-like maiden desiring to make a new world-like

garden waters the peak-like basin (alavala) of udayagiri with a
moon-like pitcher. From that wet basin bursts forth a solar ray-
like sprout of the day-tree. May that ray emerging like a new
shoot give you happiness. 34

look like the lustre of Aruna, gems emitting beams look as flick-

internal darkness is not removed. May those well-known and

Though equal in seniority (Anuru is senior in age and

Garuda among birds) Anuru wins over the enemy of snakes
(Garuda) as he is the chief driver of Haris (horses) where as the

latter is used as a draught animal by Hari; the former looks all

equally without being partial but the latter moves with paksapata
(partiality/flapping the wings). May that Anuru, the permanent
abode of lustre and onlooker of all actions, rising afresh, remove
all your sins. 51

Both the Sun and Aruna set free the rasmis (rays/reins) in

the beginning and withdraw them at the close of the day inde-

pendently. Their valour is known from stotra (hymns) and totra

(whip). The Sun tries always to go across the sky (Haripada)

while Aruna hastens the speed of horses (Haris) to go across the
sky. Both make dvijadhipati (the moon/Garuda, the king of
birds) much inferior due to favourable course of time. Thus
having been pleased the Sun has elevated Aruna to his equal
status. May that Aruna protect all of you. 53

creeper, and as a flame of fire, visible in darkness-forest. He

universe. May he emove all your difficulties. 54

The important Gods who do not get even a chance to offer

their prayer inspite of their best attempts, cover the sky with
their Chariots and wait paitently. They decorate then the spokes
of wheel of the chariot with Mandara flowers. That Chariot of
the Sun which runs fast in the sandy banks of Mandakini, and
is slow on temple like Mandara mountain, may bring you hap-
piness. 70

pulled by Vali and Indra moved in the ocean, while Siddhas,

Aruna and pulled by strong horses, moves in the sky, while

The circle of the Sun is the eye of Siva (enemy of Daksa)

which does not burn Kama (cupid) but fulfils kama (all desires).

Winds do not fling it away, rather serve it. It acts like a boat to

ferry the saints in the ocean of the world. It moves all over the
worlds without feeling fatigued. It removes the ingorance com-
pletely. Thus, though of contrasting nature, it is conducive to

welfare of all. May that circle of the Sun save you. 80

The circle of the Sun which emits rays in the sky is the rk,
the rays that shine are Samas, that subtle primeval being in its

middle is yajus. One who is well-versed in Vedic lores knows

that Sun alone is the combination of three Vedas; and is identi-
» cal with heaven and liberation. He is not subject to change.
May that Sun give you prosperity. 89

The Sun and all other gods like Indra are the sons of Aditi;
they nourish this world; they have strength to inflict injuries on
the enemies of the dwellers of heaven. But the Sun alone is

called Aditya. He is praised by the divine sages who are revered

in three worlds. May that Sun give good fortune to you. 90

The Sun is the origin of light. By creating rains in this

earth, he displays his watery form; he indicates his wind-form
as he purifies those who utter his name; he possesses fire-form
as he has power to burn; he has Yajamana form as he gives de-
sired objects; as he is hidden in the sky he displays his sky-form
and as he meets the moon on Amavasya he reveals both Sun
and-moon forms. Thus the Sun has eight forms like Siva. May
he give good fortune to you. 91

By touching the hordes of blooming lotuses in the early

morning the foot of the Sun looks beautiful. The son of Vinata
(Aruna) leads him in the heaven out of devotion forgetting his
severe pain while going upwards. The Sun moves above all over
worlds with his seven horses. Thus, the master of the day (Sun)
is praised profusely by gods like Muran whose foot looks beau-
tifulwhen massaged by goddess Laksmi rising early and who is
carrid by the Son of Vinata (Garuda) forgetting severe pain, and

who surpasses the seven worlds quickly. May that Sun protect
you. 92

The Sun makes visible the ten quarters along with moun-
tains, sky, earth and the seas immediately. He reveals his twelve

forms at the inauspicious time of dissolution. There is no one

equal to him in the region of gods ruled by Indra. The elder
brother of the eater of serpents (Aruna) is fully aware of his in-

tention and controls accordingly the horses. May that brilliant

Sun give you happiness. 94

When the Sun goes away to look after other regions, sacred

bathing places like lakes, rivers, tanks and ponds full of lotuses
turn useless. The oceans fail to ward off the fear of falling into
inauspicious ditch-like hell. Even waters of heavenly river
Gaiiga become ineffective to wash away the sins of those who
dip therein. May that sole source of the day (Sun) do good to
you. 95
