Brahma vaibartha puranam part 6 Krishna Kavacham 29424
Brahmanda naamaka Krishna Kavacha: Brahma Deva requested Shri Krishna to
impart the most sacred ‘Kavacha’ (Shield) to Parama Shiva, Dharma and
himself. Shri Krishna told all the three:
Shrunu vakshyaami Brahmesha Dharmedam Kavacham param,
Aham daasyaami ushmabhyam gopaneeyam sudurlabham/
Yasmai Kasmai na daatavyam praanatulyam mamaivahi,
Yattejo mama dehesti tattejah kavachopija/
(Shri Krishna told Brahma, Maheswara and Dharma that he was imparting the
highly unattainable and confidential Krishna Kavacha to them, but beware,
this Mantra should not be given away in a casual and careless manner since
this was a protector to me and whatever power is in me is absorbed in the
Kavacha too!)
Kuru sristimimam dhrutwaa Dhaataa Trijagataam bhava/
Hey Dharmatwa mimam dhrutwaa bhava saakshii cha karmanaam,
Tapasaam phalaaataa chayuyam bhavata madwaraat/
(Brahma! you should hold this Kavacha and perform Srishti of Three Lokas
with the status of Vidhata; Shambho! you too grasp the Kavacha and execute
the deed of Destruction and enjoy the same Shakti as my own; Dharma! You
too cling to this powerful Kavacha and perform the deed of a ‘Karma
Saakshi’or an Evidence of all that would happen in the Universe. All three
of you do enjoy my confidence and be the beneficiaries of my blessings).

(To this Brahmanda paavana Kavacha, Swayam Shrihari himself is Rishi,
Gayatriis Chhanda, I, Shri Krishna, am the Devata and am authorising the
following Kavacha to secure Dharma, Artha, Kaama and Moksha; this should be
recited three lakh times to enable ‘Siddhi’ (to fructify).

(Those who fulfil this Kavacha-by reciting it three lakh times and attain
Siddhi-would obtain ‘Tejas’, ‘Yoga’, ‘Jnaana’and ‘Bala-paraakrama’ as well
as in my own case; May ‘Omkara’ save my head and my greetings saying Namo
Rameswaraaya secure my fore-head; may my reverence saying Namo Radheswaraya
protect both of my eyes. Let the shabda Krishna govern my ears; let Hey
Harey shelter my nose; let the Swaha mantra save any problem to my tongue;
let Krishnaaya swaaha accord my wellbeing; let the ‘Shodashaakshra’ Mantra
not create any hardship to my throat; hreem Krishnaaya namah should provide
safety to my face; the Mantra Kleem Krishnaaya namah should guard my both
hands; let the Ashtaakshari Mantra Namo Gopaanganeshaya guard my teeth and
mouth; let this mantra : Om Namo Bhagavatey Raasa mandale -shaa Swaahaa :
Let the Raasa Mandala safeguard my chest by Shri Krishna; Yem Krishnaaya
Swaahaa : Let this Mantra save any problem to my ears; Om Vishnavey Swaaha
: Let this Mantra protect my ‘Asthipanjara’; Om Haraye namah : Let the
Mantra shield my body-back and feet; Om Govardhanoddhaaraya Swaaha : May
Shri Krishna provide shelter to my entire body .Let me be safeguarded by
Shri Krishna from the East, by Madhava in the Agneya side, Gopeswara in the
Southern side; Nandanandana in the Nirutyakona, Govinda on the western
front; Raadhike -swara in the Vayavyakona, Rameswara on the Northern side,
Bhagavan Achyuta in the Ishaana kona and let Narayana look after my welfare
from all the sides).
Shri Krishna said: ‘Brahma! This Parama Kavacha for your total
protection and is as good as my own Existence.This Kavacha bestows the
Punya of performing Ashwamedha and Vajapeya Yagnas and should be worn with
external and internal purity. After the Upadesha of Krishna Kavacha, Maha
Muni Suta awarded Shiva Dwadasha -akshara and Shiva Kavacha to the august
gathering at Naimishaaranya. In the past, Sage Vasistha gave the
‘Shodasaakshara’ to Suta Muni and was originally granted it by Shiva to
Muni Durwaasa and also to Banaasura; the Maha Mantra bestows the Shakti to
secure victory over the Tri Lokas:

(To this Samsaara paavana Shiva Kavacha has Prajapati as Rishi, Gayatri
Chhanda and Maheswara as Devataa. Its Viniyoga or usage is to secure
Dharma, Artha, Kaama and Moksha: Om asyashri Samsaara paavana naamadheyasya
Shiva Kavachasya Prajaapatirrishi Gayatri cchando Maheswaro Devataa
Dharaartha Kaama moksha siddhow Viniyogah. The effectiveness of the Kavacha
is subject to its recitation by five lakhs and its Siddhi bestows great
body-glow, Siddhi yoga and ‘Bala Parakrama’ or Strength and Gallantry
equalling none on Earth. The meaning of the Kavacha states: May Shambhu
protect my head and Maheswara my face. May Nilakantha shield my teeth and
Hara Deva my lips; Chandrachuda my throat and Vrishabha vaahana my
shoulders; Nilakantha my chest and Digambara my rear portion; may Vishvesha
shield all my limbs from all directions; may Shtaanu Deva defend me always
while I sleep or am woken up. Maha Deva told Baanaasura that this
Invaluable Kavacha ought not to be taught to every body without discretion
and in fact try to keep it confidential. Those who wear this Kavacha yield
the fruits of Titha Yatras instantly. Even a dull person would become agile
and avtive.
In the past, the following Kalpa Vriksha ‘Mantra Raj’handed over to
posterity as follows:

(I salute Bhagavan Shiva, Mahadeva, Suresha and Neela lohita! who is the
quintessence of all ‘Tatwaas’; the Chief of all Devatas; the embodiment of
Yoga as its germinator and its Master; the personification of ‘Jnaana’as
Jnaana Swarupa, Jnaana beeja, and Jnaana Pradaata; the Supreme Being of
Tapasya, its root, ramifications and phala / the end result; the Fund of
Prosperity, Boons and Benefits to Siddhaganas; the Desire, Sadhana /
Facility and Destination of Moksha; the highest Form of Brahma Jyoti; the
manifestations of Primary Elements like Prithvi, Water , Radiance, Air, and
Sky as also the Sun and the Moon; the highest image of Bhakti and its
applications; the Magnificent Form unaffected by Desha, Kaala and Vastu ie.
Place, Time and Material; that Parameswara beyond recognition of thought,
speech and action; and the Digambara Rupa, the Bull-rider, Trishula Dhaari
and Chandra Shekhara. That’s how Baanasura saluted Bhagavan Shiva by
reciting the above ‘Stavaraja’or the Hymn of Eulogy and bending his head
down the reverential feet of Shankara with humility and dedication. And so
did Maha Muni Durwasa too.) Those who recite the above ‘Stotra Raja’even
for a month with devotion and sincerity every morning would be cured of
long standing diseases, imprisonments, childlessness, poverty, and any kind
of difficulty in life by the mere lifting of Bhagavan’s Trishula!
