Dedicated toShani Devॐ श्रीशनैश्चरः पातु भालं मे सूर्यनन्दनः।नेत्रे छायात्मजः पातु पातु कर्णौ यमानुजः ॥१॥
नासां वैवस्वतः पातु मुखं मे भास्करः सदा।स्निग्धकण्ठश्च मे कण्ठं भुजौ पातु महाभुजः ॥२॥
स्कन्धौ पातु शनिश्चैव करौ पातु शुभप्रदः।वक्षः पातु यमभ्राता कुक्षिं पात्वसितस्तथा ॥३॥
नाभिं ग्रहपतिः पातु मन्दः पातु कटिं तथा।ऊरू ममान्तकः पातु यमो जानुयुगं तथा ॥४॥
पादौ मन्दगतिः पातु सर्वाङ्गं पातु पिप्पलः।अङ्गोपाङ्गानि सर्वाणि रक्षेन्मे सूर्यनन्दनः ॥५॥

What does Shani Vajrapanjara Kavacham mean?
The kavach places Shani's names around the body as a devotional image of protection and steadiness. It can support prayer, but it does not replace medical, legal, financial or personal-safety action.
