Translation

O God, You are famed as Divākara, as Mitra, and as Viṣṇu; indeed You are of twelvefold nature—obeisance to You. The three worlds are truly the chamber of Your womb; You are called the support of the waters, and the entire sky is Your all-encompassing expanse.

Sūrya is revered as the cosmic principle pervading time (twelvefold cycle) and space, sustaining worlds and elements.

No particular tīrtha is named; the verse universalizes Sūrya’s presence as cosmic.

Namas (salutation) and stuti acknowledging Sūrya’s twelvefold aspect.
