Bhagavan Surya is Trimurti Swaroopa ~ says Goswami Tulsidas ji
=============================
सारथि पंगु दिव्यरथगामी । हरि संकर बिधि मूरति स्वामी ॥
बेद पुरान प्रगट जस जागै । तुलसी राम भगति बर माँगै ॥
~ गोस्वामी तुलसीदास जी महाराज, सूर्य स्तुति, विनय पत्रिका
[ You adorn the divine chariot drawn by Aruna. You are of the form of Hari,
Shiva and Brahma. You glory is glaringly evident in Veda and Purana.
Tulsidas seeks the boon of Ram Bhakti from you]
This reminds us of the popular shloka recited by Smarta-s during
Sandhyavandan :
नमः सवित्रे जगदेकचक्षुषे
जगत्प्रसूतिस्थितिनाशहेतवे ।
त्रयीमयाय त्रिगुणात्मधारिणे
विरञ्चिनारायणशङ्करात्मने ॥१॥
The Savitru-tattva is the Jagat-karana Brahman who is responsible for
Srishti-sthiti-samhara, as stated in the Gayatri bhashya attributed to
Bhagavatpada:
सवितुरिति सृष्टिस्थितिलयलक्षणकस्य सर्वप्रपंचस्य
समस्तद्वैतविभ्रमस्याधिष्ठानं लक्ष्यते
(That, which brings about the creation, sustenance and dissolution of the
Universe, which is the adhishthana (substratum) of all the illusion caused
by duality, is known as ’Savitr’)
Hence, Bhagavan Surya, the Savitru tattva, is described as
Hari-Hara-Brahma-atmaka.
