This prayer helps people suffering from trouble caused by Sani if they sing it regularly on Saturdays.
Kono anthako roudhra yamo adha babru, Krishna sani pingala manda souri, Nithyam smrutho yo harathe cha peedaam, Thasmai nama Ravinandanaya., 1
Salutations to the son of Sun god,
Who if remembered daily,
As the lame one, the one who decides the end,
The one who is very angry, the one keeps himself under control,
The one who has hair like lion, the one who is black,
The one who is Sani, the one who is of copper colour, the one who is slow
And as the son of Sun God, destroys all our problems.
Surasura kimpurushoragendra, Gandahrawa vidhyadhara pannagascha, Peedyanthi sarve vishamasthithena, Thasmai nama Ravinandanaya., 2
Salutations to the son of Sun god,
Who creates problems, if in bad position,
Even to devas, asuras, very great men, nagas,

Salutations to the son of Sun god,
Who creates problems, if in bad position
Even to men, kings, cows, lions,

Salutations to the son of Sun god,
Who lives in prayaga and at the shores,
Of rivers Yamuna and Saraswathy,
Who lives in caves and in a micro form,
In the meditation of great sages.

Salutations to the son of Sun god,
On whose day, if one reaches his home,
From some outside place, he becomes happy,
And if one leaves his home on that day,
He would become victorious and would not,
Find it necessary to travel again and again.
Srushta swayam bhoor bhuvana thrayasya, Thratha Hareeso harathe pinaki, Ekasthridha rug yaju sama moorthi, Thasmai nama Ravinandanaya., 8
Salutations to the son of Sun god,
Who as Brahma is the creator of three worlds,
Who as Vishnu, takes care of them,
Who as Shiva destroys them,
And who is spread as Rig, Yajur and Sama Veda.
Sanyashtakam ya prayatha prabhathe, Nithyam suputhrai pasu bandhavaischa, Padeth thu soukhyam bhuvi bhoga yuktha, Prapnothi nirvana padam thadanthe., 9
He who reads this octet on Sani,
With devotion, everyday morning,
Would get good children, cows, good relatives,
Enjoy all pleasures and attain salvation at the end.
Konastha pingalo bhabru, krishno roudhro anthako yama, Souri sanaischaro, manda, pippaladhena samsthutha., 10
He who lives in a triangle, who is of copper colour,
Who has mane like lion, who is of black colour,
Who is very angry, who destroys,
Who controls his senses, who is the son of Sun God,
Who moves slowly and in jerks, who has been sung by Pippalada
Ethani dasa naamani prathar uthaa ya padeth, Sanaischara krutha peeda na kadachit bhavishyathi., 11
As soon as you get up in the morning.
If these ten names are chanted,
The problems created by Sanaischara,
Would be a thing of past.
