Traditional Shakta / Vaishnava Puranic source · Traditional (revealed by Brahma to Indra) · Ancient (Puranic)
The Mahalakshmi Kavacham is set as a dialogue in which Indra, anxious to protect the gods, requests Brahma to impart a complete protective armour. Brahma reveals the divine Kavacha of Mahalakshmi — the bestower of all wealth — declaring that whoever wears or recites it gains prosperity, the growth of family, victory and freedom from all evil. Because of its power, it is taught as a closely held secret to be entrusted only to the worthy.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
It is traditionally believed that in a household where this Kavacha is recited daily with faith, Goddess Lakshmi never withdraws her presence — wealth and grain steadily increase, the family flourishes, and no ghost, spirit or misfortune can cross its threshold, for the home is wrapped in the very armour of the Mother of fortune.
