Dikshithar has composed this krithi in yadukula kambodhi in a slow moving pace befitting the slow moving shanischara .Saturn inculcates in one an ascetic,hardworking and disciplined life .one learns lessons in life only through saturn's transits. whatever Saturn has in store cannot be avoided and if there is any adverse effect , it can only be mitigated to certain extent. Here Dikshithar shows the way through his krithi on Lord Shanishchara.
Pallavi :=
Diwakara thanujam shanaischaram dheeratharam santhatham chinthayeham := I always worship Shanaishchara, the son of Surya , the courageous one .The name shanaishchara indicates that Shani Bhagavaan is a slow moving planet .It takes two and half years for the planet to travel one house in the zodiac .He is the son of the Sun .He is considered courageous as He did not hesitate to cast His eyes even on Gods like Lord Shiva ,Lord Rama , and Lord Krishna during their incarnations .
AnuPallavi :=
Bhavaambu nidhau nimagna janaanaam , bhayankaram athi krura paladam := For those who are immersed in the ocean of worldly life Lord Shani gives very severe punishments as He wants every human being to get the maturity in life . The sufferings only make a man realize the facts of life .In this world pleasure or pain is not permanent . They come in succession . On realizing this every person will crave to reach a mental state in which the duality of these situations could be conquired by fortitude and proper understanding .
Madhyama kaalam :=
Bhavaaneesa kataaksha paathra bhutha bhakthimathaam athisaya shubha paladam :=
On the otherhand , He gives amazingly auspicious results in the case of devotees of Lord Shiva, the spouse of Goddess Bhavani .
Charanam :=
kaalaanjana kaanthi yuktha deham , kaala sahodharam , kaakavaaham := With a body in dark hue shining like colleyrium , the brother of Lord Yama the god of death and riding on the crow , the bird .The crow is the most intelligent bird which leads a disciplined life of rearing the young and eating in unison .The departed is said to receive the offerings in the form of crow .

Thila thaila mishruthaanna deepapriyam dayaa sudha saagaram nirbhayam := The one who likes the lamp lit with sesame oil and rice mixed with fried sesame seeds powder .

When Yama resented this and kicked her due to anger Shani intervened and upheld his mother's status . Yama, in anger hurled his kaaladanda at shani and his knee got affected .
In offering fruits of His devotees He is like Kaamadenu, the celestial cow .
Kaala chakra bheda chitra bhanum, kalpitha chayaadevi soonum := He is like The Sun in wielding time due to His slow movement of two and half years to travel the sun-sign , and He is the son of the imaginary Chayaa Devi .
