Sani Vajra Panjarika Kavacham
Brahmo Uvacha :
Srunu dwam rishaya,
Sarva sani peeda haram mahath,
Kavacham Sani Rajasya
Soureridhamanuthamam.
Be pleased to hear oh sage, the great armour, Which is a cure to all misery
brought by king Sani, Who is the incomparably great in the clan of the Sun.
Om Sri Sanaischara,
pathu bhalam may Soorya nandana,
Nethre Chayathmaja pathu,
pathu karnou Yamanuja.
Om, Oh God Saturn, let the son of Sun protect my forehead, Let the darling
son of Chaya protect my eyes, Lat my ears be protected by the brother of
Yama.
Apart from this reciting the following dashanama stotra of Shani by Dasharatha near a Peepal
tree is also a highly recommended one.
Om. Sri Shani Stotra, Dasharatha is the Rishi (seer of the mantra). Shanaishchara is God (related
to this hymn). Trishtup is a metre. Enjoined is repetition (of this hymn) for the appeasement of
Shanaishchara (Saturn).
Prostrations to Sri Ravinandana (Saturn), who when regularly remembered as (the ten names
listed in the first and second line of this verse) steals away the suffering (misfortune of the
devotee).
Prostrations to Sri Ravinandana, by whose unfavorable position, gods, demons, celestial beings,
celestial musicians, celestial masters of various wisdom-teachings and even celestial snakes
succumb to sufferings.
Prostrations to Sri Ravinandana, whose unfavorable position brings agony to laymen, emperors,
common animals, huge animals, forest creatures, insects, flies and humming bees (irrespective of

black-gram, molasses, rice pudding, iron, blue cloth, etc., and by chanting mantras on his day
(Saturday).
Prostrations to Sri Ravinandana, who manifests in subtle form before the yogis who meditate on
him at any holy bank of Prayag (confluence) of two rivers; Yamuna and Saraswati, or in a cave.
Prostrations to Sri Ravinandana, who bestows happiness to a person when He enters His own
house (constellation); (though) when He leaves the house, does not return for a long time.
Prostrations to Sri Ravinandana, who is the creator of three worlds, who is the self-manifested
being, who is Hari the protector and Pinakin (Siva, bearer of the three pointed spear or pinaka),
the destroyer, all in one, as well as the embodiment of the three-fold Vedas; Rig, Yajus and
Saman.
Thus, Pippalada praises Thee (by chanting your ten names as contained in lines 1-3).
etani dasha-namani
pratar-uthaya yah pathet
shanaishchara-krita peeda
na kadachid bhavishyati
Harih Om
He who chants these ten names, getting up early in the morning, will never suffer from the pain
caused by Saturn. Harih Om.
