Scene: A litany scene: a priest or pilgrim counts a mālā at sunrise, reciting Sūrya’s names; the sun’s rays spread like a thousand spokes; subtle iconography of seven horses hinted in the sky.
Remembering the deity through many epithets is a form of devotion (nāma-saṅkīrtana) that gathers merit and focus.
The hymn occurs within the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s Kāśī-centered framework, where stotra and japa are celebrated as especially meritorious.
Implicitly, recitation/chanting of Sūrya’s names (nāma-japa or stuti).
