Translation

Ô Dieu, Tu es célébré comme Divākara, comme Mitra et comme Viṣṇu ; en vérité, Tu es de nature douze fois—hommage à Toi. Les trois mondes sont réellement la chambre de Ton sein ; on Te nomme le soutien des eaux, et le ciel tout entier est Ton immensité qui enveloppe tout.

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.
