SAinschara  , salutations with thumb,

The slow moving one  , salutation with pointer finger

The one with eternal knowledge   , salutation  with middle finger

The son of Sun God, salutation with ring finger

The one with a thin stomach  , salutation with little finger

The son of Chaya salutation by the hand.

Sanaischara  salutation  by the heart

The slow moving one  salutations to the head

The one with eternal knowledge  salutations by the hair,

The son of Sun God   Salutations to the armour

The son of Chaya devi   salutations by the arrow

Bhoorbhuvasvarom,  I tie all directions

I meditate  of the best among planets   who wears black silk,

Who has two hands  , who sits on a vulture  and who removes all sufferings,

Let my  hands  be protected by one with good arms , let my foreatms be protected by one who shines like blue sapphire.

Reading this with attention  would make all desires to come true,

After offering Gingelly   and the Yanthra made of iron,

And worshipping with black rice   and flowers,

Wearing a black cloth  , if done by learned family,

Sanaischara  would be pleased  and remove all type of sufferings,

Give everything in plenty  and also bless  with sons and grand sons,

Make his life  long and healthy   and give him victory everywhere.
