Sapthamukhi Hanumath Kavacham

(Armour of Hanuman with seven faces)

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(In spite of my detailed search I could not find  reference in the epics as to why Lord Hanuman assumed the seven faces. At least in the web there is no reference to any temple of Hanuman with seven faces. The seven faces  of Hanuman are monkey, Narasimha, Garuda, boar, horse, cow and man.

Om Sri Ganesaya Nama

Om salutations to Lord Ganesa

Om Asya saptha mukhi veera hanumath kavacha stotra maha manthrasya

Narada rishi , Anushtup chanda , Sri saptha mukhi kapi paramathma devatha,

Hraam bheejam, Hreem Shakthi hroom keelakam , mama sar vabheeshta sidhyarthe jape viniyoga

For the great Armour prayer to the seven headed valorous Hanuman , the sage is Narada, The meter is Anushtup, The god addressed is the seven faced monkey god, The seed is Hraam, the power is hreem , the nail is hroom, and I start the prayer for fulfilling all my desires.

Om hraam angushtabhyam nama

Om hreem thrajaneebhyam nama

Om hroom madhyamabhyam nama

Om hraim anamikabhyam nama

Om hroum kanishtakhabhyam nama

Om hrah kara thala kara prushtabhyam nama

Om hraam salutations by the thumb

OM hreem salutations by the second finger

Om hroom salutations by the middle finger

Om hraim salutations by the fourth finger

Om hraim  salutations by the little finger

Om Hrah salutationd by the inside and outside palm.

Om hraam hrudhyaya nama

OM hreem shirase swaha

Om hroom shikhaya vashat

Om hraim kavachaya hoom

Om hroum nethrathrayaya voushat

Om hroom asthraya phat

Om hraam salutations to the heart

Om Hreem oblationsto the head

Om hroom Vashat for the hair

Om hom hraim armour

Om hroum voushat for the three eyes

Om hroom phat for the arrow

Adha dhyanam

Vande vanara Simha sarpa ripu varahascha aswa gho manushair yuktham,

Saptha mukhai karair druma girim chakram gadhaam ketakam,

Gadwangam halam angusam phani sudha kumbhou sarbhajabhyan,

Soolam saptha shikham dadhanamarai sevyam kapim kamadham.

Salutation to the god who has seven heads which are

Monkey, Lion , Garuda ,Boar , horse,  cow and man ,

Who carries in his hands the mountain , tree, wheel , mace , shield,

Sword , anga, plough , goad, snake, pot of nectar, arrow, Symbol of protection,

Trident . who has given his seven tufts for the service of devas,

Who is a monkey and one who fulfills desires.

Brahmo uvacha:-

Saptha seershana pravakshyami kavacham sarva sidhidham,

Japthwa Hanumatho nithyam sarva papai  pramuchyathe.                             1

I am narrating the armour of the seven headed one ,

Which helps one get all the divine powers and I also tell,

That chanting the name of Hanuman would help to get rid of all sins.

Saptha swarga pathi paayyachchikhaam may Maruthathmaja,

Saptha moordhaah siro avyanme  saptharchir phala desakam.                       2

The son of wind who is the lord of seven heavens may protect my braided hair,

He who has seven heads protect my forehead and he with seven flames protect my brow.

Tri saptha nethro , nethro avyath saptha swara gathi sruthi,

Naasam saptha padartho avyaan mukham saptha mukho avathu.                   3

Let him  with seven notes protect my sound,

Let him with fourteen hands protect my hands,

Let him who carries the earth protect my fingers,

Let him who is meditated by seven sages protect my heart,

And let my stomach be protected by him with sea in the stomach.

Saptha dhanya Priya padhou saptha patala dharaka.                                       7

Let him who is the form of seven planets protect my knee .

Let him  who likes seven grains protect my calf,

And let him  who carries the seven under worlds protect  my feet.

Pasoon dhanam cha dhanyam cha lakshmeem Lakshmi pradho aavathu,

Dhaaraan puthramscha kanyasch kutumbam viswa palaka.                              8

Let the bestower of Lakshmi give me cows, charity , grains  and wealth,

And let him who is the guardian of the universe give me wife, sons, daughters and family.

Anuktha sthanam api may payad vayu sutha sthadha,

Chowrebhyo vyala dhamshtribhya srungeebhyo bhootha rakshasath.               9

Dythyebhyo apyatha Yakshebhyo Brahma Rakshasa jabdyath,

DAmshtra karala vadhano Hanuman maa sada aavathu.                                  10

Let all those places which are not protected,may be protected by son of Wind God,

Let  the furious Hanuman with black  face always protect me from thieves,

Clutches of wicked people, from mountain peaks , from ghosts, from Rakshasas,

From asuras , From Yakshas and From attack Brahma Rakshasas .

Para Sasthra manthra yanthra sasthragni jala vidhyutha,

Rudhramsa Shathru sangramaath sarva avasthasu sarva bruth.                         11

Let the all carrying one  protect me, from arrows , chants , evil machines,

The fire created by arrows. from water , from lightning , from war by angry enemies.

If  this armour of Hanuman with seven faces is chanted daily,

At dawn, noon and dusk , all your enemies would be destroyed.

It Would result in sons and grand sons , would get you all types of wealth and a country,

Would cure all diseases , would get you fame through out life and increase blessed deeds.

Rajaanaam cha vasam neethwa tri lokya vijayee bhaveth,

Idham hi paramam gopyam deyam bhakthi yuthaya cha.                                    21

For the king it would increase his fame and make him victorious in all three worlds,

This is very secret even from devas and those having devotion.

Na deyam bhakthi heenaaya dathwa cha nirayam vrajeth.                                   22

And should not be given to those without devotion ,

For if given would result in hell to them.

Naamaani sarvanya apavargadhani roopani viswani cha yasya santhi,

Karmani devairapi durghataani Tham maruthim saptha mukham prapadhye.      23

I salute the seven faces of Hanuman,

And complete names of Lord Vishnu,

So that peace descends on  earth,

And no problems come in performance of duties of Gods.

Ithi sri Adharvana rahasye saptha mukhi hanumath kavacham sampoornam.

Thus ends the armour f seven faced Hanuman which occurs in the book Adharva Rahasya.
