He is the elder brother of Yama the god of death, who in some scriptures corresponds to the deliverance of justice. Surya's two sons Shani and Yama judge, Shanidev gives us the results of one's deeds through one's life through appropriate punishments and rewards, Yamadev grants the results of one's deeds after death.
It is said that when Shani opened his eyes as a baby for the very first
time, the sun went into an eclipse, which clearly denotes the impact of
Shani on astrological charts. He is known as the greatest teacher and
well wisher for the righteous as well the greatest punisher for those
who follow the path of evil, betrayal and unjust revenge. Shani is also
known as the lord of masses and his blessings are thus considered very
important in an individual's horoscope for bestowing him with mass
following and popularity. He is depicted dark in color, clothed in
black; holding a sword, arrows and two daggers and mounted on a crow,
which is Shani's vaahan. As protector of property, Shani is able to
repress the thieving tendencies of birds.
