Sri Shani Vajrapanchara Kavacha Sthothram by Lord Surya – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||





I shall meditate upon supreme Lord Shanaishchara who is attired in marvelous blue garments, he has attractive blue limbs, he is decked in magnificent crown, he is mounted on celestial vehicle Vulture, he inflict fear and anxiety, he is wielded in bow and arrow, he has four hands, he is the son of Lord Surya, he is ever pleasing, kindly shower auspicious grace on us.

Lord Bhrama speaks “ Oh! Rishi, carefully listen to the most propitious armor of Lord Shanaishchara, which was described by Lord Surya, and it is capable to remove all kinds of miseries and sorrows.  This auspicious hymn of armor of Lord Shanaishchara is the dwelling place of all the deities, known as Vajrapanjara, it is highly auspicious and capable to provide all kinds of auspiciousness to the worshiper,  it is recited to please Lord Shanaishcara.  I shall offer my humble salutation to Lord Shanaishchara, Oh! Suryanandhana,  kindly protect my forehead, let my eyes remain protected by the dearest darling son of Devi  Cchaya, let my ears remain protected by Yamanuja/ younger brother to Yama, let my nose remain protected by Vaivasvatha, let my face remain protected by Bhaskara, let my throat remain protected by Snigdhakanda, let my arms remains protected by Mahabhuja, let my shoulder remain protected by Lord Shani, let my hands remain protected by the Lord who provides all the auspiciousness, let my chest remain protect by Yamabhratha/younger brother of Yama, let my stomach remain protected by the Lord who has blue complexion, let my navel remain protect by the Grahapathi/Lord of planets, let my waistline remain protected by the Lord who has slow gait, let my thighs remain protected by Lord who removes  ignorance of darkness, let my knees remain protected by Yama, let my feet remain protected by Lord who has slow gait, let all my limbs remain protected by Pippala, and all my body parts and limbs remain protected by the son of Lord Surya.  These are the glorious verses praising the armor of son of Lord Surya, it is divine and capable to eradicate all kinds of miseries and sorrows, and it is recited to please the son of Lord Surya.  Whether Lord Shani occupies twelfth position, or Mrithyusthana or Kalathrasthana or Ashtamasthana, recitation of the above sacred verse on daily basis would eradicate all kinds of troubles and it would please the son of Lord Surya, these are the sacred armor constructed by Lord Surya in ancient times and it would eradicates all the afflictions caused by the changes in the planetary positions by Lord Shani.”
