Rama on the battlefield before fighting with Ravana.

Significance of this hymn.

In the section of "Phalashruti", which is also the part of the 31 slokas,
sage agastya explains thus:

25) Listen Oh Rama! Oh Ragava, scion of the Raghu dynasty, any person, singing the glories of
Surya in great difficulties, during affliction, while lost in the wilderness, and when beset
with fear, will not come to grief (or loose heart).

26) If you worship this lord of the universe, the God of all Gods, with concentrated mind and
devotion by reciting this hymn thrice, you will emerge victorious in the battle.

" The belief goes like ... when this hymn is recited for 48 continuous days (mandal), the
reader's desires are fulfilled" .
