Shani Dandakam Stotram — Lyrics and Meaning

Shri Shani Dandakam

Hail, hail Shani Dev, salutations O Destroyer of Sins.
Of dark form, wearing blue garments — salutations to Shanaishchara.

Of Time's form, the soul of Time, the Great Time — salutations.
Elder brother of Yama, son of Chhaya — salutations to Shanaishchara.

Slow-moving, sharp-gazing, giver of karma's fruits.
Radiant as blue antimony — salutations to Shanaishchara.

Seven-faced, seven-rayed, ruler of seven spheres.
Worshipped by the three worlds — salutations to Shanaishchara.

Beloved of sage Pippalada, holding a noose, granting boons.
Bestowing grace on devotees — salutations to Shanaishchara.

Thus ends Shani Dandakam.
