**Translation**
Salutations Oh Lord in the form of Surya...

Oh illuminator of all infinite causes and effects in the world, One whose effulgent luster has been praised by those of highest esteem, the bestower of good health.....

Friend to the lotus...worshiped by the energetic, the witness to all actions, one who has the chariot drawn by the seven divine horses.
