The mantras connected to Surya, are chanted and recited by those who perform their daily sandhyavandanam, as Surya is the 'preraka (inspirer) to perform one's Karma. Rig Mantras consider Surya as the eyes of Vedapurusha and the 'antaratma' as explained in '''Rig Samhita''' as follows <blockquote>चित्रं देवानामुदगादनीकं चक्षुर्मित्रस्य वरुणस्याग्नेः । आप्रा द्यावापृथिवी अन्तरिक्षं सूर्य आत्मा जगतस्तस्थुषश्च ॥१॥ (Rig Veda 1.115.1)</blockquote>Meaning :  Surya is the Surya is the atma of the universe and the cause of the universe'.

'''Rigveda Samhita''' gives the following attributes of Surya  <blockquote>चित्रं देवानामुदगादनीकं चक्षुर्मित्रस्य वरुणस्याग्नेः । आप्रा द्यावापृथिवी अन्तरिक्षं सूर्य आत्मा जगतस्तस्थुषश्च ॥१॥ (Rig Veda 1.115.1)<ref>Rig Veda ([https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%8B%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%83_%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%82%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%82_%E0%A5%A7.%E0%A5%A7%E0%A5%A7%E0%A5%AB Mandala 1 Sukta 115])</ref></blockquote>Meaning :  Surya is the 'atma' (soul) of all inanimate things and animate beings of the universe. The shine of Surya is the lustre (तेजस्) of the strength of all devatas put together. Rising sun represents the extraordinary 'eye' of devatas like Mitra, Varuna and Agni and spreads across the Dyurloka, Prithviloka and Antariksha filling the universe with his efflugence.<ref>Satvalekar, Pt.

When surya (planetary aspect) sets, even though the world is there, it is like dead.<ref>Narayanacharya, K. S. (2011). ''Veda Sanskritiya Parichaya, Part I''. Hubli:​Sahitya Prakashana​.</ref>

When Sun rises, the people who are asleep and mentally detached from the world ('dead to the world') during the night time, become revitalized. It becomes [[Sat (सत्)|Sat]] if he sets, even though the world is there, it is almost like dead. Paramatma is always responsible for wakefulness, sleep, living and dying, completeness and incompleteness as per Sayana in his bhashya.

According to Puranic Encyclopedia<ref name=":1" />,  

It is said that the Surya was born to Kasyapa by his wife Aditi. Several sons were born to Kashyapa by Aditi the daughter of Daksa. They are known by the names Adityas, Vasus, Rudras and so on. Of these, Adityas (son of Aditi)  are twelve in number. There is a difference of opinion as to who these [[Dwadasa Adityas]] (12 Adityas) are. Very often these names are used as synonyms of Sun.

Legend goes that Surya has two wives Samjna, who was the daughter of Viswakarma, and Chaya.  Samjna begot three children by Surya : '''Manu, [[Yama (यम)|Yama]] and Yami.'''  

Legend goes that Surya has two wives Samjna, who was the daughter of Viswakarma, and Chaya.  Samjna begot three children by Surya : '''Manu, [[Yama (यम)|Yama]] and Yami.'''  

Samjna unable to bear the brightness or the effulgence of Surya created Chaya, (her look alike) out of her shadow and engaged her to take her place to look after Surya and her children. She then left for the forests to do penance. Surya took Chaya to be his wife Samjna and got three children of her : Sanaiscara, (another) Manu and Tapati. '''manu repeated twice???'''  

Samjna unable to bear the brightness or the effulgence of Surya created Chaya, (her look alike) out of her shadow and engaged her to take her place to look after Surya and her children. She then left for the forests to do penance. Surya took Chaya to be his wife Samjna and got three children of her : Sanaiscara, Manu () and Tapati. Besides them Surya had another daughter named Savitri also (Bhav. Pura. Chap 47). The celebrated Kuru king (ancestor of Kauravas) was the son of Tapati with Samvarana of Chandravamsa.<ref name=":1" />  

Once Chaya not being the real mother of Yama was angry with him and cursed him. Noticing the unmotherly behaviour Surya and Yama understand that she was not Samjna. Knowing from Chaya about her, Surya found out that Samjna was practising austerities taking the form of a mare. Then Surya went to her disguised as a horse and with her co-operation produced three children of which the first two came to be known as Aswinikumaras. The third son was called Revanta. Then Surya took Samjna to his place (Chapter 2, Amsa 3, Visnu Purana). Yama became the God of Death, and Aswinikumaras the Vaidyas or physicians.

Surya exists within the universe, and is called Martanda as he is said to have originated from the dead (mrta) egg (anda).  <blockquote>अवति त्रीनिमाँल्लोकान् यस्मात्सूर्यः परिभ्रमन् ।। अविधातुः प्रकाशाख्यो ह्यवनात्स रविः स्मृतः ।। २१.४ ।। (Brahmanda.
