Phala Sruthi

Suryashtakam pathE nithyam
Gruha peeda pranasanam
Aputhro labhathe puthram
Daridhro dhanavan Bhaveth.

If one recites daily this octet on Sun God
The sufferings of his house will vanish
If he does not have a son will get one
And if he is poor , he would become wealthy!

Aamisham madhu panam cha
Ya karothi raver dhine
Saptha janma bhaved rogi
Janma janma dharidhratha.

Sthree thails madhu maamsani
Yasth yejathu raver dhine
Na vyadhi soka dharidhryam
Surya lokam sa gachathi

The one who eats meat ,
Or drinks alchholic drinks on Sundays,
Will become sick for seven births,
And would be poor from birth to death.
