[Guest guest]

& #346;r & #299; & #346;anai & #347;cara-k & #7771;ta & #346;r & #299; Narasi & #7745;ha

Stuti

 

Everyone is afraid of the malefic planet & #346;ani because generally he is

associated with extreme sorrow and suffering. However, & #346;anideva

himself has devised a way of solving this problem by obtaining the

blessings of Lord N & #7771;si & #7745;ha.

 

Shani made an agreement with the Lord that he would never trouble

those who recite his N & #7771;si & #7745;ha Stuti when they are facing troubles

related to dv & #257;da & #347;a-a & #7779; & #7789;ama-pañcama (a situation where

& #346;ani-k & #257;ta lasts

for 7 1/2 births)

 

If one recites with devotion & #346;ani's & #346;r & #299; N & #7771;si & #7745;ha

Stuti, especially on

& #346;aniv & #257;ra (Saturdays) and when & #346;ani graha comes to 12-8-5 Janma

R & #257; & #347;i or

10th AL, one will please the Lord who is the Supersoul of

Shanaishchara and the Lord will remove all obstacles and suffering and

bless His devotee.

Lord N & #7771;si & #7745;hadeva is easily accessible to the devotees and punishes

those who are evil-minded. He is the saviour for those who are

helpless who desire to seek refuge in Him. When the demigods of

innumerable planets bow down to His lotus feet, the bright jewels from

their crowns are reflected on His toenails which gives the impression

that lamps are being waved in front of them.

 

Unto His lotus feet, & #346;anideva prostrated and prayed (in the court of

Brahm & #257;).

upon me Your merciful side-long glance.
