Śiva
Tirtha: Cyavanārka
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A litany begins: the Sun is invoked by Vedic and Purāṇic names—Sūrya, Aryamā, Bhaga, Tvaṣṭā, Pūṣan, Arka, Savitṛ, Ravi—each name appearing as a radiant glyph around the solar disc.
Invoking the deity through many sacred names honors the fullness of divine functions—nourishing, ordering, illuminating, and impelling dharma.
The nāma-stotra is taught in the Cyavanārka/Prabhāsa-kṣetra context, where Sūrya worship is specially magnified.
Listening/learning and reciting the 108 names of Sūrya as a formal stotra practice.
