Traditional Sanskrit kavacha (Tantric/Puranic tradition, framed as spoken by Bhairava) · Traditional · Puranic / traditional
The Surya Kavacham belongs to the class of 'kavacha' hymns in which a deity is invoked to protect the worshipper limb by limb. Framed as the teaching of Lord Bhairava, it praises the Sun as the God of gods and the inexhaustible treasure of all light, and then weaves his radiance — invoked through names such as Ghrini, Aditya, Bhaskara, Martanda and Bhanu — over the head, senses, heart, limbs and mind of the devotee, forming a shield of solar power against all harm.
✦ શાસ્ત્રોમાં કહ્યા પ્રમાણે
Sun-worship traditions recall how the sage Yajnavalkya and others, afflicted and seeking refuge, propitiated Surya and were restored to health and brilliance by his grace. It is said that one who recites the Surya Kavacham daily at dawn with faith is encircled by the Sun's radiance, so that disease, enemies and the malefic glances of the planets cannot touch him.
