Victory, victory to Shri Shani Dev, well-wisher of his devotees. O Lord, you are the son of the Sun, and Chhaya is your mother.

श्याम अंग वक्र दृष्टि चतुर्भुजा धारी। नीलाम्बर धार नाथ गज की असवारी॥

Shyam ang vakra drishti chaturbhuja dhari, Neelaambar dhaar naath gaj ki asvaari.

Dark of body, with a sidelong gaze and four arms; the Lord wears blue garments and rides an elephant.

क्रीट मुकुट शीश राजित दिपत है लिलारी। मुक्तन की माला गले शोभित बलिहारी॥

Kreet mukut sheesh raajit dipat hai lilaari, Muktan ki maala gale shobhit balihaari.

A crown gleams on his head and his forehead shines; a garland of pearls adorns his neck, a sight to give one's life for.

Sweets, betel leaf and betel nut are offered; iron, sesame, oil, urad and the buffalo are most dear to him.

Gods, demons, rishis, sages, men and women all remember you. Meditating on the Lord of the universe, we take refuge in you.
