శ్రీ సూర్య స్తోత్రమ్ (శివ ప్రోక్తమ్)

A hymn to the Sun attributed to Śiva, opening on a dhyāna of the god of endless millions of rays, giver of fearlessness to those who trust him, crest-jewel of the three worlds. Its distinctive claim comes in the third verse: at sunrise he is Brahmā, at midday Maheśvara, and at setting Viṣṇu himself, so that Divākara is all three gods in the course of a single day, and the hymn calls him Trayīmūrti for it. Around this it sets the one-wheeled chariot ornamented with gold, the lotus held in his hand, and his titles as the womb of the world-egg and the great witness of everything done. The last two verses name what the recitation is for with unusual precision, listing the wasting disease, the falling sickness and the growth in the belly, and after them fevers of every kind and the disorders of the gut.
