Meaning: (TK Govinda Rao’s book)
Please come, oh the daughter of the slow clad mountains, Kaamaakshi of Kaanchi!, the bestower of boons, listen to my prayers and grant me auspiciousness. Oh my mother !
The saviour of those who surrender to you. I place my implicit faith in you to protect me always.
You who subdued the arrogant demon Mahisha, please dispel my agony at once.
The protector of Cupid, you are my sole refuge. I beseech you, praise you ardently, entreat you to protect me.
The title accorded to you, as one who confers the fruits of the desired boons befits you.
You, the lotus faced one with a beautiful blue neck, whose dark tresses are adorned with flowers, are having eyes like that of a doe. Your teeth are like pearls and your gait is majestic like that of an elephant. Mother, I always reflect upon you in mind!
Oh the one, worshipped by Syamakrishna, pray listen, dispel my fears and confer on fearlessness. Oh the auspicious one! The Kamakshi of Kanchi, I have no place to go, but to surrender at your feet.

Translation
I always meditate upon the slow-moving[1] Shani, the son of Surya and the courageous one.
Who causes fear in people plunged in the ocean of worldly existence, and is the harbinger of calamitous events[2]. Who grants uniquely auspicious rewards for devotees favored by Shiva's benign glances.
Who with a body of dark lustre like collyrium[3], brother of Yama, riding on his vehicle the Crow, decorated with blue dress and a blue flower wreath, with ornaments embedded with blue stones, who is worshipped by Malini[4] and delights Guruguha. Lord of the two houses of Makara and Kumbha[5], with special liking for the lamp lit with sesame oil and for rice with sesame seeds[6], an ocean of nectar of compassion and fearless. Whose knee was disfigured by the staff of the Lord of Death, like Kamadhenu[7] yielding all desires, the fire capable of splitting the time-wheel[8], and one conceived of as the son of the Goddess Chaya.
Notes
- Shani's knee was disfigured as a result of a fight with his brother Yama, God of the dead. Hence Shani is called 'Shanaiscara' (lit. 'slow-moving')
- Shani is the planet influencing suicide.
- A black sandal-paste mixture
- According to Parthasarathy, this name was assumed by Draupadi heroine of the Mahabharata and wife of the five Pandava brothers. While in exile with her husbands she suffered untold privations and indignities while living at the palace of King Virata. Under her assumed name Malini she worshipped Shani to alleviate her from her sufferings.
- Constellations Capricorn and Aquarius
- Foods for offering oblations to Shani
- The sacred wish-granting cow, bestower of all wishes and desires
- A figure of speech symbolizing Shani's power to interrupt or delay the progress of time; this power prevents a normal progress towards death, such as caused by calamitous events or suicide
