“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 ketuṃ kṛṇvann aketave peśo maryā apeśase |

“O Brihaspati (Jupiter), who shines brightly among men with wisdom beyond the worthy one’s excellence. O born of cosmic order, by your strength you shine. Bestow upon us that wonderful wealth (of knowledge and prosperity).” 6. Shukra (Venus) – शुक्र Sanskrit: ॐ अन्नात्परिस्रुतो रसो बृहस्पतिरन्नपतिः । तं त्वान्नपते नमसा विधेम शुक्र त्वा विधेम ॥ O born of cosmic order, by your strength you shine

Introduction The Navagraha Suktam is a powerful Vedic hymn (sukta) dedicated to the nine celestial bodies—the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and the two lunar nodes: Rahu (ascending node) and Ketu (descending node). Unlike later astrological texts that personify these grahas as deities with moods, the Suktam approaches them as manifestations of cosmic energy, each governed by a specific Vedic deity (e.g., Surya, Chandra, Agni, etc.).

“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 ॥
