Surya Upanishad |
|
Om! O Devas, may we hear with our ears what is auspicious; Now we shall expound Atharvangiras in relation to the sun: The seer is Brahma, metre Gayatri, Aditya the deity, 'Hamsas so'ham with Agni and Narayana is the seed, the power is hrillekha or hrim, the pin is the power in the process of unfolding the sky etc., the application is its use in repetition for winning the four human goals. The six limbs consist of the seed with six vowels added. He indeed is a Brahmana who thus knows the golden Narayana with the blessed sun, impeller of the time-wheel, having four arms and two lotuses, showing promise of refuge and boon, mounted on the sun chariot, set in the red lotus. Om, Earth, middle region and sky; we meditate on the adorable splendour of Savitar who may inspire our thoughts. The sun is the self of the world, moving as well as un-moving. From Surya indeed are these creatures born, the Yajna, Parjanya, food and spirit. I bow to you Aditya; you are the agent himself, the manifest Brahman, Rudra, Vishnu, Rig-Veda etc., as well as all the chandas (Metre-Vedas). From Aditya is born Vayu, Bhumi, water, fire, sky, directions, Devas, Vedas; the sun scorches this sphere; this sun is Brahman, the inner organ, mind, intellect, mind-stuff and Ego, Prana etc., (the five airs), the five sense organs and five motor organs, sound, touch, form, taste and smell; speech, taking (with the hands) release (of the bowels), joy. I bow to Mitra, Bhanu, (protect me from death), to the shining one, the cause of the universe. All creatures are born of Surya and are protected by him, dissolve in him - I am Surya himself. The divine Savitar is our eye the Parvata (spirit of the Time-periods), may be vouchsafe our eye. We know the sun, meditate on the thousand-rayed; may the sun inspire us. Savitar is before us as well as behind, above and below. May he grant us omnipresence and long life ! Brahman is the single syllable Om, "Ghrini' has two syllables, 'Surya' also, 'Aditya' has three. This is the mantra of eight syllables.
He
who recites this everyday is a Brahmana, facing sun while reciting he is
released from the fear of great diseases, his poverty perishes. He becomes
free from the sins of eating forbidden food, forbidden sex-relation,
conversation with fallen (men), of wrong converse.
He
should not impart this Savitri Vidya to just anyone. He who recites at dawn
becomes fortunate, gets live-stock, masters Vedas; reciting during the three
periods (dawn etc.,) he gets the fruit of a hundred Yagas, reciting when the
sun has risen to eighteen fingers, conquers death.
