English Translation

Pallavi
I meditate always on God Shukra,
Who knows all principles.

Anupallavi
Hey God Shukra, please take care of me,
Lord of Thula and Vruschiga rasi,
The adviser to the welfare of Asuras,
Whose eye was once protected by Lord Vishnu,
The one who wears the crown and one wit white body.

Charanam
He whose lasts for twenty years, one who has ashta varga,
He who is a poet, He who helps to find a wife,
He who is the enemy of Sun, moon and Guru,
He who while in Navamsa, Hora, Drekkana, Vargothama Navamsa,
And while moving back wards, Exalted, depilated or in own houses,
And while in Kendra rasis, Moola Trikona rasis, Treisamsa,
Sashtyamsa, Ravathamsa, Parijathamsa, Gopuramsa,
Gives result to Raja Yoga* and gives a country by the grace of Guru Guha.
* Status of a King.
