śani āarati

Victory, victory to Śrī Śanideva — O benefactor of devotees! O son of the Sun — whose great mother is Chāyā. Victory, victory to Śrī Śani Deva.

Dark-bodied, with a crooked glance, bearer of four arms — wearing dark blue robes, O lord — riding an elephant. Victory, victory to Śrī Śani Deva.

On the head — a jeweled crown, shining on the forehead — a garland of pearls at the throat, beautiful, incomparable. Victory, victory to Śrī Śani Deva.

Modaka sweets, betel leaf, and betel nut are offered to you — iron, sesame, oil, black lentil (urad), and black female buffalo are especially dear to you. Victory, victory to Śrī Śani Deva.

Gods, demons, sages, and saints — men and women — all remember [you]. Viśvanātha meditates on you — [we] are in your refuge. Victory, victory to Śrī Śani Deva.
