Lyrics Meaning

॥ Doha ॥

Invocation to Lord Ganesha and Shani Dev: The chalisa begins with a prayer to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, and seeks blessings from Shani Dev, the compassionate son of Goddess Girija (Parvati). The devotee pleads for mercy and requests Shani Dev to remove all suffering, illuminating their life with divine grace.

Verses 1–5:

These verses glorify Shani Dev's divine appearance and benevolent nature. Described as ever-compassionate, he protects his devotees and responds to their prayers. With four arms and a dark blue complexion, Shani Dev is adorned with a radiant crown and ornaments. His fierce, powerful eyes and form remind devotees of both his strength and his justice. In his hands, he carries a mace, trident, and axe—symbolizing his authority over karma and discipline.

Verses 6–8:

This section lists Shani Dev’s many names—Pingal, Krishna, Chhaya Nandan, Yam, Konastha, Raudra—all of which describe his qualities like being the son of the shadow goddess Chhaya, destroyer of sorrow, and one who moves slowly (as Shani means “slow”). He blesses those who worship him sincerely, elevating the poor and humble to greatness if he is pleased.

Verses 9–10:

Here, the power of Shani's vision is emphasized. Just a glance from him can turn a mountain into a blade of grass or vice versa. Even mighty events like Lord Rama being sent into exile were influenced by Shani Dev's will, revealing the profound effect of his presence in shaping destinies.

Verses 11–14:

These recount mythological stories from the Ramayana, where Shani’s influence is evident—like the golden deer illusion, Sita’s abduction, Lakshman’s injury, and Lanka’s downfall. Despite the pain involved, these events ultimately led to the triumph of righteousness. Shani Dev, as an agent of karma, ensures balance and justice.

Verses 15–18:

A story of King Vikramaditya follows, where Shani tested his humility. After being falsely accused of theft, the king suffered greatly but remained devoted. Eventually, when he lit the Deepak Raga (a musical composition), Shani was pleased and restored his dignity and fortune. It shows that faith and patience can overcome even the harshest trials.

Verses 19–20:

Shani’s trials didn’t even spare King Harishchandra and King Nala, who were known for their virtue. Harishchandra had to sell his wife and serve at a cremation ground, while Nala suffered through separation and poverty. However, these trials purified their souls and proved their unwavering righteousness.

Verses 21–24:

Even Lord Shiva and the Pandavas weren’t exempt from Shani's influence. A moment of anger made Shiva send his son Ganesh skyward, and the Mahabharata war itself was a result of Shani’s presence. These stories show Shani's impartiality—no one, however great, is beyond the laws of karma.

Verses 25–26:

In one tale, Shani swallowed the Sun (Ravi), causing universal darkness. Only after the gods pleaded with him did he release the Sun. This illustrates his immense power and control over celestial events.

Verses 27–32:

These lines detail Shani Dev’s vehicles—the elephant, horse, jackal, lion, and dog. Each vehicle represents different types of planetary effects in astrology. Depending on his mount during a transit, he brings prosperity, challenges, wisdom, or loss, reinforcing his role as the arbiter of karmic results.

Verses 33–35:

The four metals associated with Shani—gold, silver, copper, and iron—symbolize different effects of his planetary movement. His presence in iron form (associated with Saturday’s transit) is the harshest, often leading to loss, while gold and silver symbolize fortune and joy. This reveals the astrological layers of his influence.

Verses 36–37:

These verses stress the importance of devotion and chanting the Chalisa regularly. Anyone who does so with sincerity is shielded from Shani’s harshest phases and receives blessings. Shani’s apparent cruelty is a tool for cleansing the soul of ego and ignorance.

Verses 38–40:

By performing rituals like offering oil to the Peepal tree on Saturdays or lighting lamps, one can receive immense relief from suffering. The devotee, Ram Sundar Das, humbly declares that even remembering Shani Dev’s name fills one’s life with divine light and peace.

॥ Final Doha ॥

Chanting this Chalisa for forty consecutive days can help a person cross the ocean of worldly sorrow. Just as King Dasharatha pacified Shani through prayer, a devotee too can calm the planetary effects and gain liberation through this sacred hymn.
