इति प्रशस्य तान्विप्रान्प्रहृष्टो रविरव्रवीत्
Thus praising those brahmins, the delighted Sun spoke aloud:
समागतः सूर्यलोकात्प्राप्तं नेत्रफलं च मे
I have come from the world of the Sun, and I have regained the sight of my eye.
अंत्यजा अपि पूयन्ते किं पुनर्मादृशा द्विजाः
Even outcastes are purified—how much more so brahmins like me!
युष्माभिर्बध्यते श्रेयो यस्य वै धूतकिल्विषैः तपो विद्या च वृत्तं च यतो वार्द्धक्यकारणम्
By you, the highest good is bound for him whose sins are washed away—through asceticism, knowledge, and conduct, which are causes of old age.
वरं मत्तो वृणीध्वं च दुर्लभं यं हृदीच्छत 1.2.51.
Choose from me a boon—something rare, whatever your heart desires.
देवतानां हि संसर्गो निष्फलो नोपजायते
For association with the gods never becomes fruitless.
संपूज्य परया भक्त्या पाद्यार्घ्यस्तुतिवंदनैः
They worshipped him with supreme devotion, with water for the feet, offerings, hymns, and salutations.
जयादित्य जय स्वामिञ्जय भानो जयामल
Victory to you, Aditya! Victory, Lord! Victory, Radiant One! Victory, Stainless One!
विप्राणां त्वं परो देवो विप्रसर्गोऽपि त्वन्मयः
You are the supreme deity of the brahmins; even the creation of brahmins is pervaded by you.
अद्य नः सफला वेदा अद्य नः सफलाः क्रियाः
Today our Vedas are fruitful; today our rites are fruitful.
वरं यदि प्रदातासि तदेनं प्रवृणीमहे
If you are indeed the giver of boons, then we choose this one.
जयादित्य इति ख्यातस्तस्मात्स्थास्येऽत्र सर्वदा
Because I am known as Jayaditya, therefore I shall always remain here.
यावन्मही समुद्राश्च पर्वता नगराणि च
As long as the earth, the oceans, the mountains, and the cities exist,
दारिद्र्यरोगसंघातान्दद्रवो मंडलानि च 1.2.51.
Poverty, diseases, and all afflictions, as well as planetary influences,
यो मामत्र स्थितं चापि पूजयिष्यति मानवः
Whoever among men worships me established here,
मूर्तिं संस्थापयामासुर्वेदोदितविधानतः
They installed the image according to the procedure prescribed in the Vedas.
ततो द्विजाः प्राहुरेवं कमठं त्वत्कृते रविः
Then the brahmins said thus to Kamaṭha: 'The Sun acts for your sake.'
इत्युक्तो ब्राह्मणैः सर्वैः कमठो वाग्ग्मिनां वरः । प्रणिपत्य जयादित्यं महास्तोत्रमिदं जगौ
Thus addressed by all the brahmins, Kamaṭha, foremost among speakers, bowed to the victorious Sun and sang this great hymn.
न त्वं कृतः केवलसंश्रुतश्च यजुष्येवं व्याहरत्यादिदेव
You are not merely created or only heard of; just as the Yajus declares, you are the primordial god.
मार्तंडसूर्यांशुरविस्तथेन्द्रो भानुर्भगश्चार्यमा स्वर्णरेताः
You are Mārtaṇḍa, Sūrya, the ray of the Sun, Indra, Bhānu, Bhaga, Aryaman, and the golden-semened one.
दिवाकरो मित्रविष्णुश्च देव ख्यातस्त्वं वै द्वादशात्मा नमस्ते
You are Divākara, Mitra, Viṣṇu, the renowned god; truly, you are the twelvefold soul. Salutations to you.
नक्षत्रमाला कुसुमाभिमाला तस्मै नमो व्योमलिंगाय तुभ्यम्
O garland of stars, O garland of flowers, salutations to you, who are the sign of the sky.
त्वं देवदेवस्त्वमनाथनाथस्त्वं प्राप्यपालः कृपणे कृपालुः
You are the god of gods, the protector of the helpless, the guardian of those who seek, compassionate to the afflicted.
दारिद्र्यदारिद्र्य निधे निधीनाममंगलामंगल शर्मशर्म 1.2.51.
O treasure of poverty and wealth, of inauspiciousness and auspiciousness, of happiness and happiness.
व्याधिग्रस्तं कुष्ठरोगाभिभूतं भग्न प्राणं शीर्णदेहं विसंज्ञम्
One afflicted by disease, overcome by leprosy, with broken life, decayed body, and lost consciousness—
त्वं मे पिता त्वं जननी त्वमेव त्वं मे गुरुर्बान्धवाश्च त्वमेव
You are my father, you alone are my mother, you are my teacher, and you alone are my kin.
पापोऽस्मि मूढोऽस्मि महोग्रकर्मा रौद्रोऽस्मि नाचारनिधानमस्मि
I am sinful, I am deluded, I perform terrible deeds, I am fierce, I am a repository of misconduct.
स्निग्धगंभीरया वाचा प्राह तं प्रहसन्निव
With gentle and deep words, he spoke to him, as if smiling.
