THE SŪRYAŚATAKA OF MAYŪRA
Light'; Bhäsvat (21, 60, 63, 88), 'Possessor of Light'; Bhanu
(13), and the adjective Bhānaviya, 'Splendor'; and Timiraripu
(16), 'Foe of Darkness.'
Epithets of Sürya as the maintainer and stimulator of the
universe. These include only Savitar (27, 29, 62), and the
adjective Savitra (64), signifying 'Stimulator' or 'Vivifier';
and Puşan (53, 58, 61, 74), meaning 'Prosperer.'
Miscellaneous epithets of Sürya. Bradhna (3, 24, 32, 46,
65, 80), signifying, perhaps, 'Ruddy' or 'Yellowish'; Patanga
(23), and the adjective Patanga (44), perhaps from roots pat
and gam, meaning 'He who goes flying'; Ravi (59, 68, 77, 81,
96), possibly signifying 'Ruddy One'; Mārtanda (14) and the
adjective Märtandiya (76), said to be from maritam andam,
'destroyed egg' (cf. Süryaśataka, stanza 14, note 2); Ina (97),
and the adjective Aini (39), signifying Master' or 'Mighty';
Grahagramani (98), 'Lord of the Planets'; Eka (99), 'the One';
Saptasapti (45), 'Possessor of Seven Steeds'; Asamahari (48),
'Possessor of Matchless Steeds'; the adjective Häridaśva (7),
'Possessor of Tawny Steeds'; Aryaman (63, 84), seemingly con-
nected with arya, 'Favorable' or 'Master'; Aditya (90), 'Son of
Aditi'; and last, Sürya (50, 87, 89, 91, 99, 101), and the adjective
Saura (55).
Of the hundred and eight names of Sürya given in the
Mahabharata (3. 3. 16-28), only the following eight appear in the
stanzas of the Süryaśataka: Sürya, Aryaman, Püşan, Arka,
Savitar, Ravi, Diptāmśu and Bhanu. But of the list, containing
seventy-two names of Sürya, given by Hemacandra in his Abhi-
dhānacintamani (95-98),¹ 20 can be paralleled in Mayūra's poem;
viz. Aditya, Savitar, Aryaman, Kharāmśu, Ravi, Mārtaṇḍa, Bhānu,
Surya, Arka, Püşan, Patanga, Tapana, Bradhna, Saptasapti,
Dinakara, Vibhākara, Bhāskara, Ina, Haridaśva and Bhasvat.

Sangraha, Bombay, 1896. In this connection, see also J. Burgess, Mis-
cellanea, in IA, 33, p. 63, where a long list of Sürya's names has been col-
lected, including those found in the Mahabharata (3.3. 16-28) and those in
the Abhidhanacintamani.
