DakshinaKali Kavacham

Shreemaddhakshinakali Kavacham

Bhairava Uvacha:

Kaalika ya mahavidya kathitha bhuvi dhurlabha
Tathaapi hrudaye shalyamasthi devi krupankuru

Kavachantu mahaadevi kathaya swaanukampaya
Yadhi no kathyathe maatharvimuchchami thadha thanum

Shridevyuvacha:

Shankaapi jaayathe vathsa thava snehaath prakaashitham
Na vakthavyam na dhrustavyamathiguhyatharam mahath

Kaalika jagathaam maatha shokadhuhkavinaashini
Visheshathaha kaliyuge mahaapaathakahaarini

Kali me purathaha paathu prustathascha kapaalini
Kulla me dhakshine paathu kurukulla thathotthare

Virodhini shiraha paathu viprachittha thu chakshushi
Ugra me naasikam paathu karnou chograprabha tatha

Vadhanam paathu me deeptha neela cha chibukam sadha
Ghana greevam sadha paathu valaaka baahuyugmakam

Maathra paathu karadwandwam vaksho mudra sadhaavathu
Mitha paathu sthanadwandwam yonimandaladevata

Brahmi me jataram paathu naabhim narayani thatha
Ooru maaheshwari nitya chamunda paathu lingakam

Koumari cha katim paathu tathaiva jaanuyugmakam
Aparajithaa cha padhou me varahi paathu chaanguleem

Sandhisthaanam narasimhi pathrastha devathaavathu
Rakshahinanthu yathsthanam varjitham kavachena thu

Thatsarvam raksha me devi kalike ghoradakshine
Oordhvamadhastha dhikshu paathu devi swayam vapuhu

Hinsrebhyaha sarvadha paathu sadhakebhyo jaladhikath
Dakshina kalika devi vyapam me sadhavathu

Idham kavachamajnaathva yo bhajedh ghoradhakshinam
Na poojafalamapnothi vighnasthasya padhe padhe

Kavachenavrutho nithyam yathra yathraiva gacchathi
Tathra tathraabhayam thasya na kshobho vidhyathe kwachith
