॥ शनीची प्रार्थना |। कोकणस्थ: पिंगलो ब्रभु: कृष्णो रौद्रौडन्तको यम: । सौरि: शनैश्वरो मन्द: पिप्पलादेन संस्तुतः ॥ १ ॥ नमस्ते कोकणस्थाय पिंगलाय नमोस्तुते। नमस्ते बश्लुरुपाय कृष्णाय च नमोःस्तु ते ॥२॥

I want to know what exactly 'कोकणस्थ:' mean here? This is a 'shani prathana'. The first two lines of the sholka are given above which refer to the word 'kokanastha'.

What is the meaning of the Shloka?

EDIT: The correct word is कोणस्थ and NOT कोकणस्थ. कोणस्थ as well as पिंगलो are the names of Shani Deva.

  • The actual word in the prayer is "Konastha कोणस्थ पिंगलो " and not "Kokanastha कोकणस्थ" that means people who are living in konkan region of Maharashtra.

  • Ok. I copied it from a book and it clearly mentions कोकणस्थ: . Then I gave the link as a reference where its कोणस्थ . Now the question is which one is really correct and what does it mean?

  • In that case it's the misprint in the book you are having. The Wikisource link you provided and quick google search both will return with the word Konastha.

  • Yes, it's a wrong print. I got that कोणस्थ is other name of shani deva. Please provide with the meaning of shloka. Thank you. Mostly the first two lines.
