Abstract	All the Sanskrit treatises begin with a hymn for the blissful ending of the text without any hindrances. Mayūra Bhaṭṭa wrote hundred verses as a prayer to the Sun god to cure his disease. The Sun worship prevailed in India from centuries. At a point of time the Sun god and the worship to the Sun attracted most of the people. Therefore, the work Sūryaśataka also gained large momentum among readers and each critic. Each of hundred verses of Sūryaśataka is called Muktaka and is a prayer. Not only the deity Sun is worshipped but also Aruṇa his charioteer, horses of the Sun and the aura is described by attributing it to nature. The poetic beauty of this work is commendable. This paper is trying to discuss about various points mentioned by Mayūra regarding the Sun and its associated things.
