[edit] Sloka

"Om graam greem graum sah brihasptaye namah"

"Om vrim brihaspataye namah"

The mantras are chanted on japa beads of 108 beads per string. They are similar to rosaries.

A Puranic mantra for propiating the Jupiter:

Devanam ca rishinam gurun kañchana-sannibhham buddhi-bhutam tri-lokesham tam namami brihaspatim

"I bow down to Brihaspati, god of the planet Jupiter. He is the spiritual master of all the demigods and sages. His complexion is golden, and he is full of intelligence. He is the controlling lord of all three worlds."^{[citation needed]}
