What the Surya Ashtottara Shatanamavali is
The Surya Ashtottara, in full the Surya Ashtottara Shatanamavali, is the list of 108 names of Surya, the Sun, each spoken as 'Om ... namah', a salutation to that name. It is not a separate composition: the names are lifted one by one, in order, from the twenty verses of the Surya Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram, whose closing line assigns it to the Atharvana Rahasya. That stotram is built on the Sanskrit alphabet. Its first sixteen verses open on the sixteen vowels in their fixed order, a, aa, i, ii, u, uu, ri, rri, the two l-vowels, e, ai, o, au, am and ah, so Name 1 begins with a, Name 12 with i, Name 37 with ri and Name 83 with ah. Name 42 even names a letter: the one whose form is the vowel rri. After the vowels the list turns to titles of rule, the lord of the planets and of all the worlds, then Surya, Kavi and Narayana, and closes on Surya Narayana.
Sixteen vowels, a charioteer and lost teeth
The colophon of the source stotram gives its home as the Atharvana Rahasya, a title that links it to the Atharva tradition; no poet is named and no telling of how it was first spoken survives with it. Its setting is the alphabet itself. The matrika, the ordered letters of Sanskrit, are treated in tradition as sacred sound, and a hymn that salutes the deity through each vowel in turn offers the whole of speech to him. Several names carry older stories in a single word. Name 36 describes a charioteer whose form has no thighs: Aruna, the dawn, who drives the Sun's chariot. Name 46, Luptadanta, the one whose teeth were lost, recalls the Bhagavata Purana's account of Daksha's sacrifice, where Pushan laughed and showed his teeth while Shiva was being cursed, and Shiva's host later struck those teeth out. Pushan is one of the Adityas, so the Sun bears the name. Name 65 gives him tawny-green horses, and Name 73 seats him in his chariot raised to the place of exaltation. There the vowel scheme shows through the printing: the stotram's verse 14 opens with an au-word, aunnatya, height, as its place in the alphabet requires, while the namavali gives the plainer uccasthana with the same sense, so the au slot reads with u.

Salutations to the revered Surya Narayana.
॥ इति सूर्य अष्टोत्तरशतनामावलिः सम्पूर्णम् ॥
॥ இதி ஸூர்ய அஷ்டோத்தரஶதநாமாவலிஃ ஸம்பூர்ணம் ॥
॥ ఇతి సూర్య అష్టోత్తరశతనామావలిః సమ్పూర్ణమ్ ॥
॥ ಇತಿ ಸೂರ್ಯ ಅಷ್ಟೋತ್ತರಶತನಾಮಾವಲಿಃ ಸಮ್ಪೂರ್ಣಮ್ ॥

|| iti sūrya aṣṭottaraśatanāmāvaliḥ sampūrṇam ||
Thus ends the list of the 108 names of Surya.
The syllable people get wrong
Name 38, rugghantre (from ruj, disease, and hantṛ, destroyer), is often flattened to 'ru-gan-tre'. Say rug-ghan-tre: close the first syllable on a plain g, then release the aspirated gh, so both consonants are heard.
When the Surya Ashtottara Shatanamavali is chanted
Festival. Ratha Saptami
Questions
Have your chart read before you decide
Chanting is yours to do, and free. But which deity your situation calls for — and whether a mantra alone is the right response — depends on your chart. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not.
- Over 30 years in the Guru–Sishya Parampara, from the age of five
- He reads every chart himself — 60 minutes, one to one, never delegated
- Charts are read only between sunrise and sunset, following tradition
