Sūryodaya (सूर्योदय) refers to “sunrise”, according to the Āryabhaṭīya by Āryabhaṭa (born A.D. 476).—Accordingly, “These seven Lords of the horā beginning with Saturn are (more and more) speedy in this (descending) order (of the concentric spheres). Every fourth one in order of swiftness is the Lord of the (succeeding) day (which begins) with the sunrise [i.e., sūryodaya].”.

Sūryodaya (सूर्योदय) refers to the “rising of the sun”, as mentioned in the Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta 2.20.387ff.—Accordingly, “The sun moves across the zodiac day and night and crosses the oceans between the seven islands one after the other. According to Vedic astronomical calculations, the rotation of the sun consists of sixty daṇḍas, and it is divided into thirty-six hundred palas. The sun rises [i.e., sūryodaya] in steps consisting of sixty palas. Sixty palas equal one daṇḍa, and eight daṇḍas comprise one prahara. The day and the night are divided into eight praharas—four belonging to the day and four belonging to the night. After eight praharas, the sun rises again”.

1) Sūryodaya (सूर्योदय) refers to “daybreak”, according Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter XIV).—The miraculous power (ṛddhibala) of the Buddha is twofold: 1) seated in the same place, he preaches the Dharma in such a way that all beings see him from far away (dūrata) and hear from far away; 2) staying in the same place, he preaches the Dharma in such a way that each being in particular sees a Buddha facing himself (tatpurata) preaching the Dharma. In the same way, at daybreak (sūryodaya), the shadows (chāyā) seem to be a mass of water.

2) Sūryodaya (सूर्योदय) refers to “dawn”, according Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter XV).—At dawn (sūryodaya), the Buddha, who knew Ānanda’s thoughts, entered into the Daybreak samādhi (sūryodayasamādhi); then he emitted rays (raśmi) from all the pores of his skin (romakūpa). Like the sun, he emitted rays the brilliance of which spread successively over Jambudvīpa, the four continents (caturdvīpaka), the Trisāhasramahāsāhasralokadhātu and finally over all the innumerable universes of the ten directions (daśadiglokadhātu).
