Skandapurana 16.279

Īśvara said: / "Next, O great goddess, one should go to the unsurpassable Cyavanārka, / situated on the eastern side of the Hiraṇyā, established by Cyavana, 1

which grants all desires to mortals when duly worshipped by men. / And whatever man praises the sun according to rule on the seventh lunar day, 2

with the one hundred and eight names, endowed with full faith— / listen to them, O great goddess, having become pure and concentrated. 3

Grant a moment, O ruler of the gods; I will tell you everything completely, / just as of old Dhaumya told to the great-souled son of Pṛthā (Arjuna). 4

The one hundred and eight names were proclaimed; listen to that, O intelligent one: / Sūrya, Aryaman, Bhaga, Tvaṣṭṛ, Pūṣan, Arka, Savitṛ, Ravi, 5

Gabhastimant, Aja, Kāla, Mṛtyu, Dhātṛ, Prabhākara, / Earth, Water, Fire, Sky, and Wind, the Supreme Refuge, 6

Soma, Bṛhaspati, Śukra, Budha, and Aṅgāraka, / Indra, Vivasvant, Dīptāṃśu, Śuci, Śauri, Śanaiścara, 7

[He is] Brahmā, Rudra, and Viṣṇu, Skanda, Vaiśravaṇa, Yama, / lightning, digestive fire, fuel, and the lord of splendours. (8)

[He has] the banner of dharma, the author of the Vedas, the limb of the Vedas, the vehicle of the Vedas, / the Kṛta, Tretā, Dvāpara, and Kali [ages], the refuge of all the immortals. (9)

[He is] the kalās, kāṣṭhās, muhūrtas, fortnights, months, days and nights, / the maker of the year, seated on a horse, the wheel of time, Vibhāvasu. (10)

[He is] the Spirit, eternal, yogin, manifest and unmanifest, perpetual, / the overseer of the worlds, the overseer of creatures, Viśvakarman, the dispeller of darkness. (11)

[He is] Varuṇa, the ocean, ray of light, living, giving life, slayer of enemies, / the refuge of beings, the lord of beings, worshipped by all beings. (12)

[He is] the creator, the destroyer, fire, the originator of everything, spotless, / endless, tawny, the sun, bestower of wishes, facing all directions. (13)

[He is] victory, dejection, giver of boons, worshipped by all elements, / impartial, golden, the origin of beings, swift-moving, the upholder of life-breaths. (14)

[He is] Dhanvantari, the comet, the primal god, the son of Aditi, / twelve-souled, lotus-eyed, father, mother, grandfather. (15)

[He is] the door to heaven, the door to progeny, the door to liberation, the celestial realm, / maker of the body, tranquil-souled, the soul of all, facing all directions, / the soul of moving and unmoving, subtle-souled, endowed with a benevolent form. (16)

Indeed, this hymn of one hundred and eight names of the sun of boundless splendour, / who is worthy of praise, was spoken by wise Śakra. (17)

From Śakra, Nārada obtained it, and then Dhaumya next; / having obtained it from Dhaumya, Yudhiṣṭhira attained all his desires. (18)

Whoever recites daily these names of the sun of boundless splendour, / who is worthy of praise, shall attain all desires. (19)

Served by gods, ancestors, men, and yakṣas, praised by asuras, night-wanderers, and siddhas, / possessing the splendour of choice gold and fire: you too bow down to the Sun for your own welfare. (20)

The focused man who recites [this] at sunrise would obtain sons and heaps of wealth and gems; / that man always obtains memory of past lives, and he gains memory and wisdom. (21)

That person who, with a purified mind and concentrated focus, proclaims this praise of the foremost god, / is freed from the forest fire of sorrow and obtains the desires wished for in his heart. (22)

Thus ends the two hundred and seventy-ninth chapter, titled 'Description of the greatness of the Sun's one hundred and eight names in the greatness of Cyavanāditya', in the first [part], the Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya, of the seventh Prabhāsakhaṇḍa in the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa, a compendium of eighty-one thousand [verses].
