Śānti Śloka: May Indra, Agni, the lord of punishment (Yama), the lord of demons (Nirṛti / Pracetas), Vāyu, Kubera, and Śarva (Śiva) — all of them — calm the solar eclipse falling in the nakṣatra of my birth and in my zodiac sign.

Slokas for Warding Off Eclipse Affliction: He who is the god wielding the thunderbolt, regarded as the lord of the Ādityas — Śakra of a thousand eyes — may he ward off the planetary affliction. (1)

He whose face is that of all the gods, who is of immeasurable brilliance with seven flames — may Agni ward off the affliction arising from solar and lunar eclipses. (2)

He who is the witness of all actions, Yama who rides the buffalo — may he ward off the planetary affliction arising from solar and lunar eclipses. (3)

He who is himself the lord of the demon hordes, resembling the fire of dissolution, the fierce and terrible Nirṛti — may he ward off the planetary affliction. (4)

The god who holds the serpent-noose, who ever rides the Makara (sea-monster), Varuṇa the lord of the water-world — may he ward off the planetary affliction. (5)

He who is the very life-breath of all the worlds, Vāyu, the lover of the black deer — may he ward off the planetary affliction arising from solar and lunar eclipses. (6)

He who is the lord of treasures, the excellent one bearing sword and spear — may he remove from me the taint of solar and lunar eclipses. (7)

He who bears the trident, Rudra the auspicious, who rides the bull — may he swiftly destroy the fault arising from solar and lunar eclipses. (8)

Oṃ. Peace, peace, peace.
