Nava Graha Peeda Hara Stotram

Translated by P. R. Ramachander

This prayer gives the prayer to be chanted to get rid of troubles caused by each planet. Though the
entire prayer can be chanted, it is necessary only to chant the corresponding stanza for the
concerned planet which is causing problems.
