Thulasi Kavacha

(The armour of Ocimum sanctum)

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(This great prayer occurs in Brahmanda Purana. When engaged in fight with Tharakasura, Lord Subrahmanya becomes tired and prays Lord Shiva.  Lord Shiva appears before him and teaches him this great stotra. Later by the power gained by reciting the Stotra, Lord Subrahmanya kills Tharaka.

   It is mentioned in this stotra, that it fulfills all wishes of those who are chanting it. In another place it is mentioned that if a childless lady or a lady prone to still birth is caressed by a dharbha over which this Kavacha is chanted, then she will give birth to a great baby.)

Asya sri Thulasi Kavacha stotra maha manthrasya ,

Gives wealth for those who search for wealth,

Gives sons who desire to have sons,

Gives country to rule to those who have been banished,

Gives peace  to those who are perturbed
