Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Saturn, the slow moving planet takes 30 years to complete the perambulation of the
Sun. He is supposed to be the son of Chaya Devi (Shadow) and the son God. The God
of death Yama is his half brother. He takes 30 months to cross one rasi(one by twelfth
of the journey), It is believed that when he occupies the twelfth house , first house,
second house from moon(called sade sathi or seven and a half year sojourn) or
occupies the twelfth house from moon, he causes untold and extreme misery. This
great prayer occurring in the Brahmanda Purana is believed to be the best possible
antidote for such a situation.)
Brahmo Uvacha:Brahma told:Srunu dwam rishaya , Sarva sani peeda haram mahath,
Kavacham Sani Rajasya
Soureridhamanuthamam.

Be pleased to hear oh sage, the great armour,
Which is a cure to all misery brought by king Sani,
Who is the incomparably great in the clan of the Sun.
