Stotra Path (स्तोत्र पाठ)
॥ श्री शनि दशरथ कृत स्तोत्रम् ॥
ॐ अस्य श्रीशनैश्चरस्तोत्रस्य दशरथ ऋषिः।
शनैश्चरो देवता। त्रिष्टुप् छन्दः।
शनैश्चरप्रीत्यर्थे जपे विनियोगः॥
कोणस्थः पिंगलो बभ्रुः कृष्णो रौद्रोऽन्तको यमः।
सौरिः शनैश्चरो मन्दः पिप्पलादेन संस्तुतः॥ १॥
एतानि दश नामानि प्रातरुत्थाय यः पठेत्।
शनैश्चरकृता पीडा न कदाचिद्भविष्यति॥ २॥
दशरथ उवाच:
नमः कृष्णाय नीलाय शितिकण्ठनिभाय च।
नमः कालाग्निरूपाय कृतान्ताय च वै नमः॥ ३॥
नमो निर्मांसदेहाय दीर्घश्मश्रुजटाय च।
नमो विशालनेत्राय शुष्कोदरभयाकृते॥ ४॥
नमः पुष्कलगात्राय स्थूलरोम्णेऽथ वै नमः।
नमो दीर्घाय शुष्काय कालदंष्ट्र नमोऽस्तु ते॥ ५॥
नमस्ते कोटराक्षाय दुर्निरीक्ष्याय वै नमः।
नमो घोराय रौद्राय भीषणाय करालिने॥ ६॥
नमस्ते सर्वभक्षाय वलीमुख नमोऽस्तु ते।
सूर्यपुत्र नमस्तेऽस्तु भास्करे भयदाय च॥ ७॥
अधोदृष्टे नमस्तेऽस्तु संवर्तक नमोऽस्तु ते।
नमो मन्दगते तुभ्यं निस्त्रिंशाय नमोऽस्तु ते॥ ८॥
प्रसादं कुरु मे सौरे वरदोऽसि ममेश्वर।
एतैर्नामभिरुक्तैश्च स्तुतवान् यश्च मानवः।
तस्य नैव भवेत्पीडा प्रीतो भव दयानिधे॥ ९॥
