Namami shashinam soma shamborma-juta bhushanam
I pray to the Moon who shines coolly like curds or a white shell, who arose from the ocean of milk, who has a hare on him, Soma, who is the ornament of Shiva’s hair.

Those who read the song sung by Vyasa, will be joyous, sovereign and powerful, and will succeed in appeasing obstacles, occurring by day or by night.
Iti shrii vyaasa virachitam navagraha stotram sampoornam
Thus ends the song of praise of the nine planets composed by Shri Vyasa Muni.
