Lord Sani was created to cause problems for the 9 grahasas per the horoscope positions.

Astrology Shastra names Sanias the 'Ayulkaragar' (Life-threatening medium). At the same time, he is referred also as 'Arogyakaragar' (Health giving medium).

Hence, as per horoscope basis, 'Gosaram' nasis, and 'Dasabudhi' basis, if Lord Sani is weak, it is predicted that risk of life, and other difficulties mentioned above may occur in life with happiness totally deprived.

Accordingly, seven-and-a-half state Sani, Sani in 'Ashtama', and Sani in Arthashtama' will all cause extreme and countless hardships.

The people, who suffer from these ill-effects, should place trust in God, the Grahams, and the Shastras, and perform the rites in order to appease Lord Sani. They should follow Shanthikarma to appease Lord Sani and perform Sanigraha Pujai,

Manthrajapam, Homam, Dhanam. Sahasranam archanas, Ashtotharam archanas, as recommended in the Shastras.
