The Sun’s rays falling about you (5)

I believe the answer is:

surya

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the sun's' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rays falling about you' is the wordplay.
'rays falling about' becomes 'sur' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'you' becomes 'ya' (non-standard spelling as in 'see ya later').
'sur'+'ya'='SURYA'

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
