Lord Rama had a great battle with intelligent demon Ravana. Getting exhausted and not still able to kill ravana is the cause of worry of Lord Rama. He was into deep thought and Rishi Agastya observed Him.
All the Gods, Goddesses and sages come along to see the war and end of Ravana. Ravana has caused harm to Gods and sages. Thus they were standing in the sky and watching. When the war was going on like never ending war, Lord Rama was thinking the solution. Rishi Agastya who was with other Gods came to Lord Rama and said

चन्तशकप्रशमनम् आयुर्वर्धनमुत्तमम्
Here Bhagwan Agastya glorifies the supreme prayer of Sun God. He said reciting this stotra will always give happiness, destroy all sins, worries, anxiety, promote health and eventually increase the longevity.
One who is the full of bright rays, who wakes up in the sky is the Sun God. He is the one who is worshipped not only by devas but also by asuras. Everyone in the universe pray to him because he is the ruler of all worlds and lord of the universe.
He is the soul of all gods, all Gods are within Him. He is the brightest among the bright and sustains all worlds of Devas, Asuras human and all creatures of all the worlds. Sun is the said to be the essence of the world because if there is no sun there would be no life. He is the base of life. His rays are the life sustainer.
From trinity to the lokpal, Aditya represents all. As we know Trinity are the Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh and they create, preserve and destroy the universe. But Aditya represents all because he contains the aura of all the Gods.
१०. आदत्य सवत सूर्य खग पूष गभस्तमन्
सुवर्णसदृश भनुर्हरण्यरेत दवकर
He is the son of Aditi (Aditi is the mother of Gods) and hence called Aditya. As he is the brightest one, so with his with supreme light he rules the world. Travelling in the sky and possessing bright rays he nurtures the world. Golden colored, always shining, he is the creator, nurturer and ruler. The day starts with him and eventually ends too. He is like a Golden egg or womb which signifies the womb of universe, which is the source of creation and manifestation.
१२. हरण्यगर्भ शशरस्तपन भस्कर रव
अग्नगर्भऽदते पुत्र शङ्ख शशरनशन
He is cosmic egg, the source of everything. The one who cools down the heat and bestows heat also. He is the illuminator who is praised by everyone. He has fire within, the son of Aditi who becomes cool (when sets) and eliminates cold.
As we mentioned above about the golden womb, hiranyagarbha represents the same. The womb (garbha) has everything and has the power to create. He cools down world with rain and on the other hand bestows heat. He illuminates the world by his rays everyday as is the illuminator (source of light). Everyone praises him as he is the life giver and sustainer. He who has fire within himself is the son of Devi Aditi and Sage Kashyapa. When he sets he becomes cool. He is the destroyer of the cold.
Aditya (Sun) is the lord of the space (sky), dispeller of darkness. He has mastery over Vedas; Rigveda, Yajurveda and Samaveda. Heavy rains caused by him as he is the friend of the water God (Varuna), He swiftly courses in the direction South of Vindhya-mountains and sports in the Brahma Nadi.
Aditya has mastery over all the vedas, he rules the sky and dispels the darkness and negativity. Because he has friendship with the water God (Apam mitra: Varuna), he is able to cause heavy rains. In ancient times Vindhya is known as the southern mountains and aditya courses in the direction towards Vindhya mountains. They are one of the oldest mountains.
He is in the spherical shape produces lot of heat feels like the death. Yellow Golden in color he gives heat to all things. He is the poet pervades in whole universe with great radiance and red in color sustaining all the activities and existence.
The verse describes more qualities and form of aditya. It says Aditya is circular in shape, red and yellow colored with the immense heat within Him. He produces more and more heat and sustains the world with his heat. Life is based on the heat. When we die our bodies become cold, no heat. This the Aditya is one who is residing in all of us and entire universe to make us alive. On the other side he is the death (mrityu). His heat is too much that it can destroy, hence here He is stated as Death. He is highly radiant, shining and dear to all.
He is the Lord of constellations (Nakshatra), planets (Graha) and stars (Tara). As well as the origin of everything in the universe. Salutations to Aditya who is the energetic than the energy and appears in twelve forms.
He is the Lord of universe because he is the originator of each and everything. He gives energy to everyone. All the nakshatras, planets and stars are ruled by him. Also we know he is the center of planetary system, he holds the system and maintains them moving rightly. We salute to the Sun God who manifest in twelve forms as the 12 months. His twelve forms are the 12 adityas which are also considered as Vedic Gods. They are Indra, Dhata, Bhaga, Pooshana, Mitra, Aryama, Archi, Vivaswan, Twastru, Savitha, Varuna and Vishnu (in shape of twelve months of the year).
Hail to Aditya who is the bestower of victory and auspiciousness. Salutations to the lord whose chariot is carried by green horses. Again and again salutations to the one having thousand rays and who is the son of aditi.
In this verse Rishi says that Aditya ensures the victory in the war and overall auspiciousness. Here he is indicating Rama that praise the Lord Sun to win the battle. Further Rishi Agastya tells how powerful and strong his aura is. He has thousand of rays and he is sitting on the charot of green horses.
१९. ब्रह्मेशनच्युतेशय सूर्ययदत्यवर्चसे
भस्वते सर्वभक्षय रद्रय वपुषे नम
Salutation to Him who is the Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, one who is graceful and splendorous. The one who shines and consumes all, who is fierce like Rudra at the end of the creation is the Aditya and we salute Him.
Surya Dev is the Gods of God. In fact He has aura of all the Gods. Thus he is the most graceful, illuminating and shining. His aura is spreaded everywhere. Simultaneously He is as fierce as Rudra and consumes all at the end. All is created from him and eventually rest in Him.
Aditya is the dispeller of the darkness (ignorance), cold, enemies. His extent is immeasurable (infinite atman). Salutations to the annihilator of the ungrateful and to the Lord of all the stellar bodies.
Ignorance is the cause of all problems and Surya (Sun) is the wisdom. Hence when the inner Sun rises we come out of inner darkness. Similarly when sun rises in morning, it takes away all the darkness. He is the remover of enemies. The shadripu (inner 6 enemies) are the most harmful one and eventually aditya removes them too along with outside. Being ungrateful is somewhere the sign of Ego. And as aditya is the God of pragya, he brings the false ego down and makes things clearer.
Surya, Aditya has color of molten gold. So He shines like the gold. All the activities of world are sustained by Him only. He is the essence. Rishi Agastya pays Salutations to Vishvakarma who is the architect of the universe because he is the cause of all activities and creation in the world. Truly he destroys the ignorance and lights up the path therefore he is dear to all. He is the one who is the witness of the world. Hence is the one who knows everything.
Aditya is the soul of all who is always awake within all beings. In fact in all cases, be it awake state, sleep state or dream state aditya is the witness to all. All the sacrifices, Yajna are Him. Moreover the fruits of yajna or agnihotra are Him only. There is nothing except Him. On the whole, He is all and all is Him.
२४. वेदश्च क्रतवश्चैव क्रतूनं फलमेव च
यन कृत्यन लकेषु सर्व एष रव प्रभु
In case of problems (physical, mental and spiritual), difficult timings, and when fear caught us and we feel lost, the aditya hrudayam stotram is the light and saviour. Praising Aditya and singing his glory will ward off all the difficulties. And also reset us to confident and strong self.
Here Rishi Agastya saying to Rama that chanting Aditya Hrudayam Stotram for three times will surely give you victory in the battle. So chant it with focussed devotion as Aditya is the God of all Gods and Lord of all worlds.
All the clouds of despair thus shredded by hearing the solution and Lord Rama has returned to the happy and delighted state. The lustrous Lord Rama obeyed the saying of sage Agastya with great happiness. And with concentration he retained the stotra in his memory.
