Saturday – Sani – Saturn

divākaratanujam shanaishcaram dhIrataram santatam cintayēham

bhavāmbu nidhau nimagna janānām bhayankaram atikrūra phaladam 
bhavānīsha katāksha pātra bhūtabhaktimatām atishaya shubhaphaladam

I always meditate upon the slow-moving 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. Who grants uniquely auspicious rewards for devotees favored by Shiva's benign glances.

Shani or Saturn is shown with four hands riding upon a vulture. While two of his hands hold weapons, the other two hold abhaya (fearlessness) and varada (boon-giving) mudra (symbolic hand gestures).

Saturday – 4
