Sri Shiva Kavacha Sthothram – Lyrics and meanings – III



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||










Rushabha speaks “ I have narrated the sacred armor of Lord Shiva which destroys all kinds of perils and evil effects, and it has been remained highly confidential among the deities, whoever carries the sacred armor of Lord Shiva will not have any fear and will have the courage to face any kind of fears with the blessings of Lord Shiva, people who are weak and in death bed or people afflicted with severe illnesses, would be relieved from their illnesses and attain long life, whoever recites or listens to these sacred armor of Lord Shiva would be relieved from poverty, it provides all fortunes, and the worshiper will remain praised by the deities, it destroys all kinds of sins, ultimately liberation from the cycles of repeated births.  Oh! Vathsa, carefully listen to these sacred verses which is superior among the armors, and you will realize how fortunate you are.”


Sutha speaks “ Rushabha Yogi concluded his speech and gave a superior Conch that makes thunderous noise and  Gadgam which is highly powerful that slays the enemies, to the son of King/Prince Bhadhrayu, further he applied  holy ashes recited with sacred hymns all over his body, which provided him the powers of twelve thousand elephants, instantly the prince attained immense valor and wealth, regained his conscious and courage due to the sanctity of the holy ashes, and shone like Sun in the autumn season.   The prince prostrated before Rushabha Yogi who continued to narrate the glories of  Gadga which has possessed immense power with the sacred chants, it is capable to kill the enemies with its slightest quiver, and moreover enemies whoever listens to the deafening noise of the Conch would make them fall unconscious forgetting all their knowledge in the usage of armaments, this divine Gadga and Shakha would kill all the enemies, develop your own army with bravery and power, with the power of sacred armor of Lord Shiva, prince had doubled the strength of twelve thousands elephant, due to the sacred ashes smeared all over the body he had won over the enemies, ultimately regained the throne and successfully ruled the Earth, in this way Rushabha Yogi motivated prince Bhadhrayu who was with his mother, later Rushabha Yogi vanished from their sight.”
