The sages said: I remember Soma [Moon] white in colour, Bhūmija (Mars) who has the colour of fire, Budha (Mercury) the son of Moon who has golden lustre, Bṛhaspati [Jupiter] who resembles gold, Śukra [Venus] whois white in colour, and Manda [Saturn] who is very dark. I remember the right hand with the gesture of granting fearlessness, and the left-hand that rests on the thighs. I remember all those planets ending with Saturn. I remember Mahādeva and Bhāskara. O lord, be pleased. I shall offer Arghya unto you in a strong vessel made of copper and filled with splendid water resembling the full moon in colour and having a prastha of flowers and sweet scents.
