Brahmanda Purana (Shukra Kavacham) · Sage Bharadvaja (rishi of the mantra) · Puranic
The Shukra Kavacham is preserved in the Brahmanda Purana, with the sage Bharadvaja named as its rishi and Anushtup as its metre. It belongs to the family of planetary (Navagraha) armour-hymns recited for graha-shanti, the pacification of the nine planets. Shukra (Venus) is the brilliant son of the sage Bhrigu and the preceptor of the Asuras, master of the Mritasanjivani vidya and lord of love, beauty, art and wealth; this kavacha invokes him by his many names to shield the devotee limb by limb and to bless him with the comforts, harmony and prosperity that Venus governs.
✦ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରରେ କୁହାଯାଇଥିବା ପରି
The kavacha's phalashruti gives a simple, sweeping assurance — 'na tasya jayate pida bhargavasya prasadatah': that for one who recites this divine armour with faith, no affliction whatsoever ever arises, by the grace of Bhargava (Shukra), the radiant lord of fortune who, in legend, even held the secret to reviving the dead.
