1. I pay homage to the Sun, the bright

shining One, the maker of the day, enemy
of darkness, destroyer of evils, resembling a
Chinese rose, descendent of Kashyapa.
2. I pay homage to the Moon, Soma, who
serves as an ornament on Shiva's crown,
who was born from the ocean of milk and
whose color is that of curd, conch, or
snow.
3. I pay homage to Mangala, the
handsome youth with weapon in hand,
born from mother earth, whose luster
resembles the lightning in the sky.
4. I pay homage to Budha, son of the
Moon, resembling the dark green bud of
the priyangu flower, unrivaled in beauty,
of calm and collected disposition.
5. I pay homage to Brhaspati, the guru of
gods and rishis, who shines with golden
luster, the embodiment of cosmic
intelligence, the guiding light of the three
worlds.
6. I pay homage to Shukra, descendant of
Bhrigu, the supreme guru of the demons,
the greatest expounder of all shastras,
whose complexion resembles the white
lotus, the jasmine flower, or snow.
7. I pay homage to Shani, the slowmoving, son of the Sun, born from Chaya
and Martanda, Yama's elder brother, who is
of dark complexion like the blue eye
ointment.
8. I pay homage to Rahu, the half-bodied
one, offspring of Simhika, possessing great
strength, the sworn enemy of the Sun and
Moon.
9. I pay homage to Ketu, one of the
eleven Rudras, chief among planets and
stars, resembling the palasha flower, and of
dreadful appearance.

10. Thus ends the hymn of praise

to the nine planets, born from
Vyasa's mouth as assembled by
him. For one who chants this hymn,
whether by day or night, all
obstructions will melt away.
11. Whether for men, women, or
kings, it brings them destruction of
evil, unrivaled sovereignty, freedom
from disease, and growth of
strength.
12. All afflictions born of the
planets, stars, thieves, or fire will be
removed. Vyasa tells us that there is
no doubt about this.
