From Bhavishya Purana

This sacred stotra presents twelve significant names of Lord Surya, the sun god, who is considered the visible manifestation of the Divine. Sourced from the Bhavishya Purana, the hymn serves as a concise meditation on the radiant nature and cosmic influence of the Sun. Reciting these twelve names with devotion is believed to bestow health, vitality, and intellectual brilliance upon the practitioner.
