Sūryajāpī

Sūryajāpī · sūrya-jāpī, “the one who does japa to Sūrya”

Sūryajāpī is a king of the Candra line in the Dvāpara Yuga. The Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa, where Sūta answers Śaunaka, gives him as the son of Arcājña and the grandson of King Saṃvaraṇa, who each ruled 10,000 years. Sūryajāpī ruled for half his father’s time. His son was Sūryayajña, who was devoted to the solar yajña.
