Bath at pilgrim centers may cleanse sins. Extraordinary chanting praising Gods may grant us different "Lokas". Fasting and strict discipine are essential for penance.
C 2	ravi chandra graha tArAbalamulu bhuvilO gamya phalamulu tavilina panchEndriya nigrahambulu tanudharulaku durlabhamulu aviraLa dharmArdha kAmambulu mari aiswaryamulaku moolamulu Avala grahaNa kAlAnushTAnamu ladhika phalmbulu ASAmayamu ||	The Sun , the moon, the stars and other planetary influences may bestow worldly benefits. Reastraing five sensory organs is difficult for common man. Righteousness, wealth and desire are roots for prosperity. Performing rituals during eclipses may yield results but desires are endless.

Possessing wife, children and lands provide worldly happiness. Oh Lord Venkatesa, Oh Sri Hari, you are the supreme bestower. You alone are our protector always.
