శ్రీ నవగ్రహ సుప్రభాతమ్ (విస్తృత స్తోత్ర)

A suprabhata, which is a form for waking a god at dawn, applied here to all nine planets in turn. Each section opens by telling the planet to get up — rise, Surya Narayana, whose going between the eastern and western mountains opens everything that moves and does not move — and the verses after it end on the refrain, make it a good morning. What it asks of each is specific rather than general. The Sun is asked to tear the covering of darkness that is ignorance and to feed the world with the heat of knowledge; he is addressed as the witness of every human act and as the one who quiets affliction. The Moon is roused as Rohini's beloved and as the ornament Shankara is fond of. The form suits the subject better than usual here, since the planets are things that actually rise, and the hymn is meant to be said while they do.
