Markandeya Purana (Angaraka Kavacha Stotram) · Sage Kashyapa (rishi of the mantra) · Puranic
The Mangala Kavacham is preserved in the Markandeya Purana as the Angaraka Kavacha Stotram, with the sage Kashyapa named as its rishi and Anushtup as its metre. It depicts Mangala — Mars, the fierce red planet born of the Earth — as a four-armed, crimson-clad warrior riding a ram and bearing mace, spear and trident, and entreats this 'king of planets' to shield the devotee limb by limb. As an armour-hymn it belongs to the family of planetary kavachas recited for graha shanti, the pacification of the nine planets.
✦ શાસ્ત્રોમાં કહ્યા પ્રમાણે
The kavacha's closing verses make a bold promise 'satyam etan na samshayah' — 'this is the truth, there is no doubt': that one who bears or recites this divine armour is freed from disease, bondage, enemies and evil spirits, and gains wealth and every good fortune by the grace of the red planet Mangala.

Mangala Kavacham પાઠના લાભ
A limb-by-limb 'kavacha' (armour) that invokes Mangala's protection over the whole body, warding off enemies, accidents and harm.
Traditionally recited to pacify Mangal Dosha (Kuja Dosha / Manglik affliction) and to strengthen a weak or afflicted Mars in the horoscope.
Its phalashruti declares it destroys ghosts, spirits and pishachas and removes all disease — chanted for protection and good health.
Said to bestow all wealth and auspiciousness, courage, victory over foes and the increase of good fortune (saubhagya).
Especially recited on Tuesdays (Mangalavara), the weekday of Mars, and during Mangala / Navagraha puja.
Mars governs energy, courage, land and brothers — its kavacha is invoked for valour, success in disputes and protection of property.
