॥ Durga Kavacham Sanskrit Lyrics ॥
॥ श्रीदुर्गादेविकवचम् ॥
श्रीगणेशाय नमः ।
ईश्वर उवाच ।
श्रृणु देवि प्रवक्ष्यामि कवचं सर्वसिद्धिदम् ।
पठित्वा पाठयित्वा च नरो मुच्येत सङ्कटात् ॥ १॥
अज्ञात्वा कवचं देवि दुर्गामन्त्रं च यो जपेत् ।
स नाप्नोति फलं तस्य परं च नरकं व्रजेत् ॥ २॥
उमादेवी शिरः पातु ललाटे शूलधारिणी ।
चक्षुषी खेचरी पातु कर्णौ चत्वरवासिनी ॥ ३॥
सुगन्धा नासिके पातु वदनं सर्वधारिणी ।
जिह्वां च चण्डिकादेवी ग्रीवां सौभद्रिका तथा ॥ ४॥
अशोकवासिनी चेतो द्वौ बाहू वज्रधारिणी ।
हृदयं ललितादेवी उदरं सिंहवाहिनी ॥ ५॥
कटिं भगवती देवी द्वावूरू विन्ध्यवासिनी ।
महाबला च जङ्घे द्वे पादौ भूतलवासिनी ॥ ६॥
एवं स्थिताऽसि देवि त्वं त्रैलोक्ये रक्षणात्मिका ।
रक्ष मां सर्वगात्रेषु दुर्गे देवि नमोऽस्तुते ॥ ७॥
॥ इति श्रीकुब्जिकातन्त्रे दुर्गाकवचम् सम्पूर्णम् ॥
॥ Durga Kavacham Meaning ॥
Oh Devi, I am telling you the armor which gets you everything,
Reading or making others read, men get rid of all their sorrows.
If he who does not know learns this Kavacham,
Along with the Durga Mantram,
He would add to himself the strength,
Of the five serpents again.
Let Uma Devi protect my head,
Let my forehead be protected by her who carries the soola,
Let the lion protect my eyes,
And let her who lives near the gate protect my ears.
Let she who is like incense protect my nose,
Let she who carries everything protect my face,
Let Chandika Devi protect my tongue,
Let Soupathrika protect my neck.
Let Asoka Vasini protect my consciousness
Let Vajra Dharini protect my two arms,
Let Lalitha Devi protect my heart,
Let my belly be protected by She who rides on a lion.
Let Bhagwathi Devi protect my hips,
Let She who lives on Vindhya protect my two thighs,
Let the very strong one protect my calf,
And let she who lives on all beings protect my two feet.
Thus stands the Devi who protects the three worlds,
Please protect all my body parts,
My salutations to Goddess Durga.
