Friday – Sukra – Venus
shrī shukra bhagavantam cintayāmi santatam sakala tattvajnam
he shukrabhagavan mām āshu pālaya vrsha tulādhīsha daitya hitopadesha keshava katākshaika netram kirītadharam dhavala gātram
I always meditate upon the God Shukra, the knower of all truths.
Rescue me quickly, Oh Shukra, Lord of the houses of Tula and Vrisa (Constellations Libra and Taurus), and sound counselor to all demons. Whose one eye was safeguarded by the grace of Kesava (A name for Vishnu), who is the wearer of the crown and of white substance.
Sukra or Venus is shown with four hands, riding upon a chariot drawn by eight horses. Three of his hands hold a staff, a rosary, a vessel, respectively, while the fourth one is held in varada (boon-giving) mudra (symbolic hand gesture)
Friday – 14
