As the complete embodiment of the sun, Surya's said to hold all the other solar gods within his being. It's not known if that means he literally contains those powers, if each god is another manifestation of Surya, or if the sun is made of several different deities. Whatever the truth, Surya oversees the rising and setting sun, making sure the day begins and ends correctly. If he's lax in his duty, the prime-material worlds suffer.

Surya heals disease, brings luck to his faithful, and is very much the power of the sun's light and heat, as well. The rich, fertile realm he shares with Mitra reflects this; it's constantly warm, even hot, and any berks who try to hide undercover of darkness simply cease to exist until they're hit by light again. The disappearance is called an eclipse, and it can be made permanent as Surya likes. Cross-traders who hope to commit foul deeds in the dark might vanish for good.

Surya, like Mitra, values learning highly. However, the kind he espouses is found mostly in the spirit, where a body can truly grow. His is the glow of enlightenment, that which brings a body closer to union with Brahman, the unifying force of the universe.
