सूर्यस्य वचनं श्रुत्वा हरिः प्राप्तस्तु तत्क्षणात्
Hearing the words of Sūrya, Hari arrived there at that very moment.
गम्यतां तत्र यत्रास्ते देवदेवो महेश्वरः
Go there, where the god of gods, Maheśvara, resides.
वृत्तांतः कथितः सर्वो रविपुत्रस्य पार्वति

अधोदृष्टिर्मया दृष्टो वक्रांगो रूपतोऽसितः
I saw him with a downward gaze, his form crooked and dark in appearance.
किमर्थं वै स्मृतो देव देह्याजां मम शंकर
For what purpose, O god, have you remembered me? Grant me a birth, O Śaṃkara.
इत्युक्तोऽहं तदा तेन रविपुत्रेण पार्वति
Thus I was addressed at that time by the son of Ravi, O Pārvatī.

पूजां प्राप्स्यसि चात्यर्थं ग्रहाणामधिकं सदा

अतस्ते स्थावरं नाम भविष्यति महीतले
Therefore, your name will be 'Sthāvara' on the earth.
अतः शनैश्चरोनाम भविष्यसि सदा भुवि

वर्णतो ह्यसितो नाम भविष्यसि महीतले तुष्टो ददासि राज्यं च रुष्टो वै हरसि क्षणात्
By color, you will be called 'Asita' on the earth; when pleased, you grant kingdoms, when angered, you take them away in an instant.

The gods, demons, humans, Siddhas, Vidyādharas, and serpents—struck by your fierce gaze—will surely meet destruction, there is no other way.
तव प्रसादात्प्राप्स्यंति मनोऽभीष्टं सुदुर्ल्लभम्
By your grace, they will attain their heart's desire, which is extremely difficult to obtain.

दृष्ट्वा तत्रैव तल्लिंगं स्थानं लब्धं सुशोभनम्
Seeing there that very liṅga, the place obtained was exceedingly beautiful.
शनिनोक्तं तदा देवि येऽत्र द्रक्ष्यंति भक्तितः तेषां पीडा मदीया तु न भविष्यति कर्हिचित्
Then Śani spoke, O goddess: those who see it here with devotion, their affliction caused by me will never occur.
मदीये च दिने यो वै नियमेन प्रपश्यति
And whoever, on my day, observes it with discipline,
धक्ष्यामि सततं पीडामन्यग्रहकृतामपि
I will always destroy affliction, even that caused by other planets.
न ग्रहा न पिशाचाश्च न यक्षा न च राक्षसाः
Neither planets, nor ghosts, nor Yakṣas, nor Rākṣasas—
संक्रांतौ शनिवारे च व्यतीपातेऽयने तथा भविष्यत्यक्षयस्तेषां स्थिरो वासस्त्रिविष्टपे
