ing 8ikramaditya ruled over ,,ain. !e was known for his wisdom( gallantry and magnanimity. !is wife was ueen -adalekha. &ne( the nine $lanets or the navagrahas( went into a disussion about who is the most $owerful amongst them. Sine @ahu and etu were relatively smaller $lanets( they asked the other seven $lanets( namely( Sun( -oon( -ars( :u$iter( -erury( 8enus and Saturn to deide on the matter. 9fter many arguments( the $lanets ould not reah to a onlusion. So( they sought hel$ from the ing of devas( Aord Devendra. But( Aord Indra felt that if he gives a ,udgement in favour of one $lanet( all other $lanets will beome disSathisFed with him. !ene( he advised the $lanets to seek the re?uired ,udgement from the wise ing 8ikramaditya on earth. !eeding to the advie of Aord Indra( the seven $lanets a$$roahed ing 8ikramaditya and sought his ,udgement. ing 8ikramaditya was overwhelmed to see the Gods. !e treated them with utmost res$et and devotion. Sine he was dutiful( he ae$ted the diLult task before him( graefully. 9fter giving a dee$ thought over the matter( ing 8ikramaditya arranged for seven thrones. #hese thrones were made from Gold( Bron7e( Brass( #in( Oin( -ia and Iron res$etively. #he thrones were numbered with Gold as no.* and Iron as no.1. #hen( ing 8ikramaditya re?uested the seven Gods to grae the throne of their own seletion. Aord Surya ;Sun= hose the Golden hair while Aord Shani ;Saturn= hose the Iron hair. >hen the seven Gods sat in the hair of their own seletion( ing 8ikramaditya said Now( aording to the order of your throne you may deide your own rank and none an thrust my ,udgement u$on you.J !earing this( Aord Shani ;Saturn= stood u$ and said to the ing( Mou ranked me the lowest among the $lanets.

But( I am the only $lanet who an reign a Oodia for two and half to seven and half years. #his $eriod is alled Sade Sathi. Even the most $owerful of all Gods tremble when they hear about Sade Sathi. >hen Aord @ama went through Sade Sathi he was banished from his own kingdom. Now( be $re$ared( for its your turn( oh ing 8ikramaditya.J Saying this( Aord Shani disa$$eared. Soon( Sade Sathi $eriod started for ing 8ikramaditya. Saturn took the form of a rih merhant and entered ,,ain to sell horses. ing 8ikramaditya heard of the e3ellent horses and sent his men to buy the good ones. !earing of their e3orbitant $ries( the ing ame to see the horses himself and liked one of them so muh that the merhant asked him to try it out. #he moment he sat on it( the horse gallo$ed at enormous s$eed into the ,ungles where he managed to ,um$ and get o. But by then( he had lost his way he had no o$tion but to wait till dawn when( a $assing owherd showed him the way to the nearest town. 9t the
9s days $assed by( the trader grew attahed to 8ikramaditya and he gave him the res$onsibility of doing arrangements for his daughter%s wedding eremony. So( 8ikramaditya went to the market to $urhase the re?uired things for the marriage eremony. #here( he met a mysterious man. !e was none other than Aord Shani in disguise. #he mysterious man gave 8ikramaditya a $iture of a duk and disa$$eared. 8ikramaditya( unassumingly took it home. #hat night( 8ikramaditya was baQed by a strange sight. #he duk in the $iture( was swallowing a gold neklae whih was ke$t for the trader%s daughter. Due to this( every one in the trader%s house thought that 8ikramaditya has stolen the neklae. #he trader%s wife was so angry( that she got 8ikramaditya arrested through ing Chandrasena%s soldiers. ing Chandrasena was the enemy of ing 8ikramaditya. !e reogni7ed him as ing 8ikramaditya and ordered his soldiers to ut o his hands and feet in one stroke. 9nd( it was done at one. #wo years $assed by( a daughter of a wealthy oil trader from ,,ain $assed by and reogni7ed ing 8ikramaditya. She took him home and informed her father of 8ikramaditya%s fate. #he oilman $ut 8ikramaditya on the ,ob of $ressing out the oil in return for food and lothing. 9s time went by( it beame 8ikramaditya%s daily hore to sing while $assing time moving the o3en around the mill. !e was a talented musiian knowing all the ragas( he sang his heart out( until all of a sudden the fore and melody of his voie ombined to ause all the lam$s in the ity to ignite s$ontaneously. ing Chandrasena%s daughter who was standing in her balony was marveled at the sight of all the lam$s Kare u$ simultaneously. She sent her servants to investigate. :ust then 8ikramaditya had om$leted @aga Dee$ika( and all the lam$s une3$etedly went out. #he servants informed the $riness that the $erson whose hands and legs were ho$$ed o on her father%s orders was the singer. She sent him an invite to ome and sing for her. 8ikramaditya tried to deline thinking that Saturn might have not Fnished with him yet( but on the insistene of the girl he agreed. #hereafter he ke$t singing various ragas for her( eah a$$ro$riate for the time of the day or night. !is Sade Sathi also was also oming to an end. #he $riness too had deided to get married to him only. >hen the ing learnt of her intentions he tried $ersuading her( but she wouldn%t relent( and threatened to immolate herself if the ing did not agree. 8ikramaditya was unaware of this drama( and thought to himself that there was more misery left for him to undergo and Saturn did not show him his grae. 9s 8ikramaditya thought so( Saturn a$$eared before him and said( R% & king 8ikramaditya Do you reogni7e me" #ell me how muh suering you endured by insulting me in your ourt.%% 8ikramaditya tried to rise to $rostrate Saturn( but being ri$$led he rolled to Saturn%s feet to $ay him obeisane. Saturn said( R%Bravo ing 8ikramaditya for your $atiene( you have endured great miseries( now re?uest your heart%s desire from me.%% 8ikramaditya re?uested Saturn not to trouble anyone as he had troubled him. Saturn was $leased at the ing%s selKessness and restored 8ikramaditya%s hands( legs and $revious luster to rule again. #he moral of the story is that Saturn is not evil( it is benevolent if one lives rightly( truthfully and without ego. In the Sade Sathi it reates irumstanes to make a $erson egoisti( shows false $romises and then humbles a $erson om$letely. #he Sade Sathi is a $eriod of limitations( it is a $eriod of intros$etion and also of orretion( if you do not heed to it( you will suer like 8ikramaditya did.
