Shiva Kavacham
(Armour of Shiva)
By
Sage Rishabha
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Rishbha (deva) was born as a king in the family of
Swayambhuva manu. He married Meru devi and had one hundred children,. When
they grew up, he entrusted the kingdom to his eldest son and retired to the
forest. He became a great sage and a great devotee of Lord Shiva. He met in the
forest a prince called Bhadraayu, who was driven out from his kingdom along
with his mother by his enemies. Rishabha deva taught him the Shivakavacha,
using which Bhadarayu regained his king dom. This story forms a part of Skanda
purana This Kavacham (armour) addressed to Lord Shiva is unique and very
important.)

Vajra damshtram trinayanam kala
kanda marindhamam,
Sahasrakara mathyugam, vande
Shambhum umapathim. 1
I salute Shambu the consort of Parvathi,
Who has diamond like teeth and three eyes,
Who has black neck and kills his enemies,
And who has thousands of fearful hands.
Adhoparam sarva purana guhyam ,
Nissesha papougha haram pavithram,
Jayapradham Sarva vipath
pramochanam,
Vakshyami shaivam kavacham hithaya
they. 2
For your benefit I would tell you the “armour of Shiva”,
Which is very secret among the Puranas,
Which is holy and removes all the sins that are committed,
Which leads to victory and prevents all dangers.

Rishabha Uvacha:-
Rishabha said:-
Namskrythwa maha devam viswa
vyapeenameeswaram,
Vakshye Shiva mayam varma sarva
raksha karam nrunaam. 3
After saluting the great God who is spread through out,
I would tell you the “armour of Shiva, which protects all
men.
Suchou dese samaaseeno yadavath
kalpithasana,
Jithendriyo jitha pranas
chinthayeth shivamavyayam. 4
You should sit in a clean place ,
Assume the proper sitting position,
Win over your senses , control your desires,
And meditate on Shiva who is forever stable.
Hruth pundarikaantha sannivishtam,
Swatheja saavyaaptha nabhovakasam,
Atheendriyam
sookshmamananthamadhyam,
Dyayeth parananda mayam
mahesam. 5
I meditate on the great lord , who is full eternal joy,
Who lives in the lotus of one’s heart,
Whose innate luster spreads all over the sky,
And who is beyond the senses and is micro and also end
and beginning less.
Dhyannavadhoothakhila karma bandha,
Schiram chidwananda nimagna chetha,
Shadakshara nyasa samahithathma,
SAivena kuryath kavachena
rakshaam. 6
By deep meditation cutting off the ties of Karma,
For a long time and getting drowned in the divine joy,
With chant of the six letter mantra of Lord Shiva,
You have to protect your self with Shiva’s armour.
Maam pathu devo akhila devathathma,
Samsara koope pathitham gabheere,
Thannama divyam paramanthra moolam,
Dhunothu may sarvamagham
hrudhistham. 7
May I, be saved by The God of all devas,
From this deep chasm called domestic life,
And his sacred divine names ,
Which are the basis of all great mantras,
Destroy all the sins in my heart.
Sarvathra maam rakshathu viswa
moorthir,
Jyothir mayananda ghanaschidathma,
Anoraniyanuru shathireka,

8
Let me be protected everywhere by the Lord of the universe,
Who is full of the light of happiness, who is the divine
soul,
Let the God ,who is micro among micros, who is all powerful,
Protect me completely from all sort of fears.

Phala Sruthi:-
Benefit of reading:-
Rishaba Uvacha:-
Rishabha said:-
Ithyedath kavacham shaivam varadam
vyahrutham mayaa,
Sarva bhadha prasamanam , rahayam
sarva dehinaam. 30
This protective armour of Lord Shiva as spoken by me ,
Removes all ills and bad things, and is secret for all
beings.
Yasaada dharayen marthya saivam
kavachamuthamam,
Na thasya jaayathe kwapi bhayam
shambhoranugrahath. 31
That man who wears this greatly divine armour of Shiva,
Due to the blessing of Lord Shiva will never have any fear.
Ksheenayu praptha mruthyurva Maha
roga gahathopivaa,
Sadya sukhamavapnothi , deergatuscha
vindathi. 32
People whose life is about to be over,
Or the one nearing death,
Or the one who is afflicted by leprosy,
Would get rid of those problems,
And would be blessed with long life.
Sarva daridrya samanam soumagalya
vardhanam,
Yo dathe kavacham saivam sa
devairapi poojyathe. 33
If any one wears this armour,
Which removes all poverty,
And increases good luck,
He would be worshipped even by devas.
Maha pathaka sangathair muchyathe
chopa pathakair,
Dehanthe mukthi maapnothi shiva
varmanu bhavatha. 34
He with the greatness of the armour of Shiva,
Would be saved from great as well as minor sins,
And at death would be blessed with salvation.
Thwamapi sradhaya vathsa , shaivam
kvachamuthamam,
Dharayaswa maya datham sadhya
sreyohyavapsyasi. 35
Oh young man, you also wear this armour given by me,
And by wearing it you would see good things coming to you.
Sootha Uvacha:-
Sootha said:-
Ithyukthwa Rishabho yogi thasmai
Parthiva soonave,
Dadhou Sankham Maharaavam
Gadganchari nishoodhanam. 36
Punascha basma sammanthrya thadangam
parithosprusath,
Gajaanaam Shad sahasraya dwigunasya
balam dadhou. 37
Telling thus the sage Rishabha gave the son of the king,
A conch which makes loud noise and a sword which cuts well.
Then he applied the ash made divine by the chant all over
him,
And gave him further the strength of 12000 elephants.
Basma prabhvad sampraptha
balaiswaryadruthi smruthi,
Sa raja puthra shushubhe saradarka
iva sriya. 38
Due to the effect of the ash applied on his body,
The prince got strength, wealth , courage and memory,
And shined like the Sun of the autumn.
Thamaha pranjalim bhooya sa yogi
nrupanandanam,
Yesh gadgo maya dathasthapo
manthranubhavitha, 39
Then the sage told the prince saluting him,
This sword given by me has the strength ,
Of the holy chants as well meditative power.
Shitha dharamimam Gadgam yasmai
darsaye sphutam,
Sa sadhyomriyathe shathru saaksad
mruthyurapi swayam. 40
If you show and shake this very sharp sword.
The enemy who sees it would die immediately.
Asya shankhasya nirhradham ye
srunwanthi thavahithaa,
They moorchithaa pathishyanthi nyastha
shasthra vichethana. 41
Those enemies who happen to hear the sound of this conch,
Would faint immediately and would fall down leaving all
arms.
Gadga shankhavimou divyou para
sainya vinasinou,
AAthma sainyasya pakshaanam sourya
thejo vivardhanou. 42
This sword and conch which are divine destroy enemy’s army,
And bless one’s own army with bravery and great power.
Yethayoscha prabhavena shaivena
kavachena cha,
Dwishat sahasra nagaanaam balena
mahathapi cha. 43
These along with the power of the armour of Shiva,
Has greater strength than 12000 elephants.
Basma dharana samarthyath shathru
sainyam vijayishyasi,
Prapya simhasanam pithryam gopthasi
prithveemimaam. 44
Due to these and by the strength given by the sacred ash,
You would regain the throne of your father and riule over
earth.
Ithi bhadrayusham samyag anusasya
samathrukam,
Thaabhyaam sampoojithaa sodha yogi
swaira f=gather yayou. 45
Thus encouraging the prince called Bharayus,
Who was hearing these along with his mother,
The sage called Rishabha departed the way he wanted.
Ithi Sri Sanda purane Bramothara Kande,
Shiva kavacha prabhava varnanam nama dwadasodhyayam samaptham
Thus ends the armour of Shiva which occurs in the twelfth Brahmothara
chapter of Skanda purana which deals with the power of the armour of Shiva.
