The name Maarthanda signifies an interesting aspect in astronomy. Marthu + Anda = Maarthaanda. Literal meeting of this name would be 'One who destroys its own eggs'. Marthaanda is one of the names of Sun god. It is mentioned in Aditya hrudayam as well. But why did sun get such a name. What's the link between sun and destroying eggs?

We learnt that the universe is in egg shape in the name 'Nijaarunaprabhaapuramajjatbrahmandamandala'
Sun is a huge star with enormous fission and fusion activity. Its diameter is 100 times to that of our earth. It has 99.8 % of the mass of the entire solar system. Due to this enormous fission and fusion activity on such a huge body of mass, the Sun spits out a bunch of heavenly bodies into outer space. These groups of heavenly bodies are in egg shape. If not controlled, they will travel at rocket speed towards earth and hit us. Our earth will be destroyed in no time. But that does not happen because sun's gravity grabs the emitted planets back into it. This is what Marthaanda mean.

Bhairava - One who makes unbearable sound.
