Brahma Vaivarta Purana (Prakriti Khanda) · Traditional (spoken by Krishna; narrated by Narayana to Narada) · Ancient (Puranic)
The Saraswati Kavacham occurs in the Brahma Vaivarta Purana as part of the glorification of Goddess Saraswati. It is presented as a most secret teaching that Lord Krishna, the Lord of the Rasa dance, imparted to Narayana in the divine realm of Goloka, within the circle of the Rasa-lila in Vrindavana. The same armour had earlier been declared by Brahma upon his lotus-seat. Because it bestows victory of knowledge and speech everywhere, it bears the name Vishwavijaya — 'Conqueror of the Universe'.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
Tradition holds that even Brahma the creator received this Kavacha to gain the power of creative speech, and that a sincere devotee who wears it at dawn becomes a master of words equal to Brihaspati, the preceptor of the gods — many a tongue-tied seeker is said to have become a celebrated poet and orator by its grace.
