Bhāskarāmita (भास्करामित) refers to “innumerable suns”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.41.—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu and others eulogized Śiva:—“[...] obeisance to you, O lord, having the splendour of innumerable suns (i.e., bhāskarāmita-tejas). Obeisance to you, the Bhava, the lord in the form of flavour and fluid. Obeisance to you who are every thing, who are in the form of fragrant earth. Obeisance to Him of great splendour, Him in the form of fire”.
