Each other the 23 phases has its own unique qualities or moods. In each of these moods, the Sun has been given its own name which make up the 12 sun mantras. This are to be repeated in alignment with the 12 asanas of Surya Namaskara. The power of of these mantras is intensified with intention, if practiced in devotional, celebratory manner.
