Dear Vidvans,
In the attached file you will find the mantras for grahas taken from the Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra.
Most of these are in popular use except the ones for Chandra and Shukra.
In the attached
इमं देवा असपत्नं .. is given as the mantra for Moon/Chandra
and अन्नात् परिश्रुतो रसं ...is given as the mantra for Venus/Shukra
What is the source of these mantras in Veda?
Also in popular practise these 2 mantras are substituted for
आप्यायस्व समेतु ते विश्वतस्सोम... (For Chandra)
and प्रवश्शुक्राय भानवे भरध्वम्... (For Shukra).
Is there a textual source for this different usage?
If so why the difference?
Thanks,
Venkat
