Sūrya-stava: Dhaumya’s Counsel and the Aṣṭaśata-nāma of Sūrya
सूर्योदये यः सुसमाहित: पठेत् स पुत्रदारान् धनरत्नसंचयान् । लभेत जातिस्मरतां नर: सदा धृतिं च मेधां च स विन्दते पुमान्,जो मनुष्य सूर्योदयके समय भलीभाँति एकाग्रचित्त हो इन नामोंका पाठ करता है वह स्त्री, पुत्र, धन, रत्नराशि, पूर्वजन्मकी स्मृति, धैर्य तथा उत्तम बुद्धि प्राप्त कर लेता है
sūryodaye yaḥ susamāhitaḥ paṭhet sa putradārān dhana-ratna-saṃcayān | labheta jātismaratāṃ naraḥ sadā dhṛtiṃ ca medhāṃ ca sa vindate pumān ||
ドゥハウミヤは言った。日の出の時、よく心を収めて専念し、これらの名を誦する者は、家の繁栄—妻子、財宝、宝玉の蓄え—を得る。また常に前生を想起する力を得、さらに不動の忍耐と鋭い知慧を得る。この偈は、朝の規律ある誦名を自己統御の倫理的修行として示し、世の安定と内なる卓越の双方をもたらすと説く。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that disciplined recitation performed at an auspicious time (sunrise) with concentrated attention cultivates both external well-being (family and wealth) and internal virtues (steadfastness and intelligence), even extending to extraordinary spiritual fruit such as remembrance of former births.
Dhāumya is describing the promised results of reciting certain sacred names at sunrise with focused mind—presenting it as a practical observance whose fruits include prosperity and heightened mental and spiritual capacities.
