Chandra Ashtotharam
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Chandra the
planet moon arose from the ocean of milk when it was churned for taking out nectar . He is thus
a brother of Goddess Lakshmi. He was made as the Lord of the night. He
is young , pretty , fair, has two arms and holds a lotus and mace in his hands. He rides on a
chariot drawn by ten horses. He married
the 27 daughters of Daksha
Prajapathi and kept them with him on
the sky. When the other stars complained
to their father that he was only
interested in Rohini and was neglecting
them, Daksha cursed him to daily lose
fifteenth portion of himself. Before the
15th day he approached Lord Shiva , who gave a boon to Chandra that from the 15th
day he will grow for another 15
days. He
travels round the rasi Chakra in
30 days and would be with a rasi for
two and one fourth days.Normally he does
not cause any harm to any one but those who are born in the waning moon period
suffer due to him.He is the lord of Karkidaga Rasi and is exalted in Rishabha rasi and
feeble(neecha) in Vruschiga rasi . He controls the minbd , imagination ,
mother etc. Bad or good caused by
Chandra is of only two and one
fourth day duration. iN second house, fourth house, fifth house, eighth house,
ninth house and twelfth house. For solving problems caused by him , he can be worshipped . The God associated with him is Lord Shiva and by praying to Lord Shiva
also he can be pleased. Planet Budha is his son through wife of planet Guru.)
