Shloka Taatparyam Shloka 6
रश्मिमन्तं समुद्यन्तं देवासुरनमस्कृतम् ।
पूजयस्व विवस्वन्तं भास्करं भुवनेश्वरम् ॥ 6 ॥
rashmi mantam samudyantam devasura namaskritam |
pujayasva vivasvantam bhaskaram bhuvaneshvaram || 6 ||
Meaning:
Lord Surya is filled with golden rays, shines equally (for all ??) and is worshipped by both Devas and Asuras. He is to be worshipped as he is extremely bright, glittering, and the lord of the world.
Note :
samudyantam – Another interpretation of this word is symmetrical. This also makes perfect sense as Sun scientifically considered to be a perfect sphere.
