Apamarjana Kavacham
(The armour which cleanses)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
( This great armour occurs in Vishnu Dharmothara Purana. It is believed by chanting it and meditating on the
manthra given in the end , our body and mind would get clean and we would get rid of all our diseases. I got this
Kavacham from 49 Kava changal , a book in Malayalam published by Vidhyarambham press.)
1.Poorve Narayana pathu, Varijaksthu Dakshine,
Pradhymna paschime pathu, Vasudeva sthothare.
Let Narayana protect the east, Let the south be protected by lotus eyed one,
Let Pradhyumna protect my west and Vasudeva protect my north.
2.Isanyam Rakshathaad Vishnur , AAgneyam cha Janardhana,
Nairyuthyam Padmanabhasthu , vayavyam Madhu soodhana.
Let Lord Vishnu guard the north east, Let Janardhana protect south east,
Let south west be protected by the Lord who has lotus flower in his navel,
And let North west be protected by the killer of Madhu.
3.OOrdhwam Govardfhanoddhartha , hyadharayam trivikrama,
Yethabhyo dasa digbhyascha sarvatha pathu Kesava.
Let the one who lifted Govardhana protect the top,
And let the Trikrama protect what is beneath,
And let Kesava protect everything including these ten directions.
4.Yevam kruthwa dig bandham Vishnu sarvathra samsmaran,
Avyag rachitha kurveetha nyasa karma Yadhavidhi.
Thus after tying up all the sides and after meditating on Vishnu,
And then do the rituals as given below.
5.Angushtagre thu Govindam, Tharjanuyam thu mahidharam,
Madhyamayam Hrishikesa, anamikyaam Trivikrama.
Govinda at the tip of the thumb , the carrier of earth at the second finger,
Hrishikesa at the third finger and Trivikrama in the index finger.
6.Kanishtayam nyased Vishnum, kara prushte thu Vamanam,
Evam angulee nyasa paschad angeshu vinyased.
In the little finger think of Vishnu and back of the hand Vamana,
And after this ritual with fingers , do rituals of organs.
7.Shikayam Kesavam nyasya, mordhni Narayanam nyaseth,
Madhavam cha lalate thu Govindam broovor nyaseth,
Think of Kesava by touching the hair, Narayana by touching the head,
Think of Madhava by touching the forehead and Govinda by touching eye brows.

Sridhara on the fingers and the lotus eyed one on all joints.
18.Nakheshu Madhavam chaiva nyaseth Pada thale Achyutham,
Roma koope Gudakesam Krishnam Rakthasthi majjasu
Let Madhava be on the nails , and Achuyutha on the surface of the feet,
He who is hiding within us in the hair follicles and Krishna on flesh and bones.
19.Mana budhyorahankare Chithe nyasya Janardhanam,
Achyuthananda Govindaan Vatha pitha kapeshu cha.
Let Janardhana be on mind , intelligence, wisdom , egoism and thought,
And let Achyutha, Anantha and Govinda be on gas, phlegm and bile.
20.Evam nyasa vidhim kruthwa yath karyam Dwija thachrunu,
Pada moole thu devasya sankham chaiva thu vinyaseth.
After performing the rituals of Nyasa like this the Brahmin,
Would make the God hear the conch blown at his feet.
21,Vanamala hrudhi nyasya , Sarva devadhi poojithaam,
Gadhaam vaksha sthale nyasya Chakram chaiva Prushtatha,
After touching the chest thinking of the forest garland , worshipping all devas,
After touching the chest thinking of the mace , Touch the back thinking of the holy wheel.
22.Sri vathsa murasi nyasya panchangam kavacham nyaseth,
Aapadamasthakam chaiva vinyaseth purushothamam
Touch the chest thinking of Sri Vathsa, and touch the five organs using the Armour,
And then think of the portions from head to foot with Purushothama in the mind.
23. Yevam nyasa vidhim kruthwa SAkakshad Narayano Bhaved,
Thanur Vishnu mayi thasyai yath kinchchid na sa basathe.
Thus after doing the rituals of Nyasa , he would become the real Narayana himself,
All his body would be full of Narayana and nothing else will appear.
24.Apamarjanako nyasa Sarva vyadhi vinasana,
Aathmanascha parsyapi vidhiresha Sanathana.
This cleaning and purifying ritual would destroy all diseases,
And would make the soul divine and make it everlasting.
25.Vaishnavena thu karthavya sarva sidhi pradhayaka,
Vishnustha dhoordhwam rakshethu Vaikunto vidhiso disa,
It would make him dear to Vishnu and bless him with all powers,
He will be protected all along by Vishnu and he would take him to Vikunta.
26. Pathu maam sarvatho Ramo dhanwi Chakra cha Kesava,
EYethath samastham vinyasya paschan manthran prayojayeth.
Please protect me always Rama by your arrow and Kesava by your wheel,
After performing all this , use the mantra afterwards.
Adha Moola Manthra
Now the root chant
