“Agni (Mars) is the head of the sky, the lord of the earth’s summit. He energizes the seeds of the waters.” 4. Budha (Mercury) – बुध Sanskrit: ॐ उद्बुध्यस्वाग्ने प्रति जागृहि त्वामिष्टापूर्ते सं सृजेथामयञ्च । पुनस्त्वादित्या रुद्रा वसवः सुनिर्वपन्तु ॥
Om imaṃ devā asapatnaṃ sudhāṃ nakṣatrāṇām | āpyāyayanti candramāḥ || navagraha suktam with meaning
Om tac cakṣur devahitaṃ purastācchukram uccarat | paśyema śaradaḥ śataṃ jīvema śaradaḥ śatam || “Agni (Mars) is the head of the sky,
Om śanno devīr abhiṣṭaya āpo bhavantu pītaye | śaṃ yor abhi sravantu naḥ || Let all offerings and accumulated merits unite with you
“Awaken, O Agni (Mercury); be vigilant. Let all offerings and accumulated merits unite with you. May the Adityas, Rudras, and Vasus again offer to you perfectly.” 5. Brihaspati (Jupiter) – गुरु Sanskrit: ॐ बृहस्पते अति यदर्यो अर्हाद्द्युमद्विभाति क्रतुमज्जनेषु । यद्दीदयच्छवस ऋतप्रजात तदस्मासु द्रविणं धेहि चित्रम् ॥
