Śatasūrya (शतसूर्य) refers to a “hundred suns”, according to the Kulakaulinīmata 5.88-99.—Accordingly, “The goddess (Tripurabhairavī) is red like vermillion and the Bandhūka flower. [...] A rosary, brilliant like a hundred suns [i.e., śatasūrya-samaprabha], is in the right hand. She makes a fear dispelling gesture with the left and a boon-bestowing one with the right. The garland around her neck hangs down to her feet. Its form divine and enveloped in blazing flames brilliant like the sun, it looks like red coral. [...]”.
