If one recites with devotion Çani’s Çré Nåsiàha Stuti, especially on Çanivära (Saturdays) and when Çani graha comes to 12-8-5 Janma Räçi or 10th AL, one will please the Lord who is the Supersoul of Shanaishchara and the Lord will remove all obstacles and suffering and bless His devotee.

Lord Nåsiàhadeva is easily accessible to the devotees and punishes those who are evil-minded. He is the saviour for those who are helpless who desire to seek refuge in Him. When the demigods of innumerable planets bow down to His lotus feet, the bright jewels from their crowns are reflected on His toenails which gives the impression that lamps are being waved in front of them.

Unto His lotus feet, Çanideva prostrated and prayed (in the court of Brahmä).

Çré Çani said -

By the mercy of the dust of Your lotus feet which destroy a multitude of sins, grant infinite auspiciousness to Your devotee who always worships Your lotus feet with devotion. O Lord Nåsiàha, please bestow upon me Your merciful side-long glance.

Your lotus feet are worshipped by Goddess Lakñmé, even though She is fickle by nature (cancala) and by Lord Brahmä and Lord Çiva whose feet are worthy of worship with devotion. O Lord Nåsiàha, please bestow upon me Your merciful side-long glance.

By the word of His devotee named Prahläda, Lord Hari, who is generous and kind, appeared from a pillar and by placing Hiraëyakaçipu on His thighs split open the his stomach with His nails. O Lord Nåsiàha, please bestow upon me Your merciful side-long glance.

You protected your own devotee Prahläda from a raging fire, the deep ocean, from falling from a tall mountain peak, poison, a mad elephant and the fangs of poisonous serpents. You are omnipresent and supremely generous. O Lord Nåsiàha, please bestow upon me Your merciful side-long glance.

By meditating upon He whose great form is devoid of imperfections, the best of the saints attained liberation from the ocean of materialistic attachments and obtained unmitigated salvation. O Lord Nåsiàha, please bestow upon me Your merciful side-long glance.

On listening to the heartfelt prayer composed by Çanideva in the assembly of Lord Brahmä, Lord Hari who is ever compassionate to His devotees, spoke to Çanideva as follows.

çré nåsiàha uväca -
prasannoham çane tubhyaà |
varam varaya çobhanaà ||
yaà väïchasi tameva tvam |
sarva-loka hitävaham ||11||

Çré Nåsiàha said –

O Çani, I am pleased with your devotion. What ever you desire that will benefit the world, ask for that kind of boon and I will grant it.

çré çanir uväca -
nåsiàha tvam mayi kåpäm
kuru deva dayä-nidhe |
mad väsaras tava préti-
kara syat devatä-pate ||12||

mat kåtam tvat param stotraà
çåëvanti ca paöanti ca |
sarvän käman pürayetäs
teçäm tvaà loka-bhävanaù ||13||

Çré Çanideva replied –

O Lord Nåsiàha, O reservoir of compassion, please be kind to me. O Lord of all gods, let my week-day (Saturday) be Your favorite day. O Purifier of all the worlds, may You fulfill the desires of all those who listen to or read this great prayer to You composed by me.”

çré nåsiàha uväca -
tataivästu çaneham vai
rakño-bhuvana saàsthitaù |
bhakta kämän pürayiçye
tvaà mamaika vacaù çåëu ||

tvat kåtam mat param stotram
yaù paöecchåëu yäccha yaù |
dvädaçäñöama janmastäd
bhayaà mästu tasya vai ||14||

Çré Nåsiàha said –

O Çani, let it be so! By virtue of My being the universal protector (rakñobhuvana), I fulfill the desires of all My devotees. Please listen to My words -let there be no fear of the twelfth and eighth birth positions (and implicitly any unfavorable birth positions) and consequent troubles from you for any one who reads or listens to this prayer to Me composed by you.

çani naraharià devaà
tateti pratyuväca ha
tataù parama-saàtuñöo
jayeti munayovadan ||15||

Then Çanideva replied to Lord Narahari that he would follow the Lord’s instructions. Then the joyful saints and sages present there (in Brahma’s assembly) responded with cries of, ‘jaya, jaya!’”.

çré kåñëa uväca -
itam çanaiçcarasyäta nåsiàha deva |
samvädam etat stavanaà ca mänavaù ||
çåëoti yaù çrävayate ca bhaktyä
sarvänyäbhéñöäni ca vindate dhruvam ||16||

Çré Kåñëa told Dharmaräja, “Whoever listens to or recites this conversation between Çanideva and Lord Nåsiàha in the form of this prayer of devotion will definitely have all desires fulfilled and will always rejoice.”

iti çré bhaviñyottara puräëe rakñobhuvana mahätme çré
çanaiçcara kåta çré nåsiàha stuti sampürëam

Thus ends the prayers offered to the universal protector Çré Nåsiàha by the great soul Çani.
