Ādityahṛdayastotra

Ādityahṛdayastotra is a devotional text in praise of the sun deity Āditya also called Sūrya. It is part of the Bhaviṣyauttarapurāṇa. The text is presented as a dialogue conversation between Arjuna and Hindu deity Kṛṣṇa. There is a famous work with the same name part of the Yuddhakaṇḍa of Rāmāyaṇa also in praise of deity Āditya. This text should not be confused with that one. The text is serialised using numerals. Opening Maṅgalavakya is dedicated to the Vedic god Mirtra rather than to Hindu deity Gaṇeśa which is typical.
