Moon (Chandra)
I pray to the Moon who shines coolly like curds or a white shell, who arose from the ocean of milk, who has a hare on him, Soma, who is the ornament of Shiva's hair.
Mars (Kuja -Ankarakan)
I pray to Mars, born of Earth, who shines with the same brilliance as lightning, the young man who carries a spear.

I pray to Venus, the utimate preceptor of demons, promulgator of all learning, he who shines like the fiber of snow-white jasmine.
Saturn (Sani)
I pray to Saturn, the slow moving, born of Shade and Sun, the elder brother of Yama, the offspring of Sun, he who has the appearance of black collyrium.
Rahu
I pray to Rahu, having half a body, of great bravery, the eclipser of the Moon and the Sun, born of Simhikaa.
Kethu
I pray to Ketu, who has the appearance of Palaasha flower, the head of stars and planets, fierce and terrifying.
