॥ - मठ - म ॥
K. Muralidharan (kmurali_sg@yahoo.com) 1
This following is a rare Ashtakam (hymn with 8 shlokas) on Lord Aditya in Skanda
Purana (Maheshvara Khanda, Chatper 51) created by Kamatha and told by Sage Narada.
This hymn appears as part of Jayaditya Mahatmya in Kaumarika Khanda within
Maheshvara Khanda.
The short Phalashruti at the end mentions that one who chants this hymn with due
respect on a Sunday after Aditya Puja sees all diseases and poverty nullified. The hymn
continues with special prescriptions and benefits of worshipping Lord Jayaditya on a
pilgrimage to Koti Tirtha (not given here).
