Brahma-Vaivarta Purana (Budha Kavacham) · Sage Kashyapa (rishi of the mantra) · Puranic
The Budha Kavacham is preserved in the Brahma-Vaivarta Purana, with the sage Kashyapa 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. Budha (Mercury) is, in Puranic lore, the son of Chandra (the Moon) and Tara and the lord of intellect, speech and learning; depicted bearing a book and robed in yellow, he is invoked through this kavacha to shield the devotee limb by limb and to bless him with wisdom, health and success.
✦ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରରେ କୁହାଯାଇଥିବା ପରି
The kavacha's phalashruti promises that whoever recites or even merely hears this divine armour of Mercury 'becomes victorious everywhere' — freed from sin and disease, blessed with long life, health and progeny — for the gentle lord of intellect protects every limb of the one who takes refuge in him.

बुध कवचम् ପାଠର ଲାଭ
A limb-by-limb 'kavacha' (armour) invoking Mercury's protection over the whole body, guarding against harm and evil.
Mercury rules intellect, speech, learning, commerce and communication — the kavacha is recited for sharp memory, wisdom, eloquence and success in study, trade and examinations.
Its phalashruti promises destruction of all sins and pacification of all diseases — chanted for good health, especially nervous and skin ailments traditionally linked to Budha.
Said to bestow long life (ayus), health (arogya) and auspiciousness, and to increase progeny (sons and grandsons).
Promises that the reciter or even the listener 'becomes victorious everywhere' — invoked for success in all undertakings.
A traditional remedy (parihara) for a weak or afflicted Mercury and for Budha Dosha in the horoscope.
Most auspicious when recited on Wednesdays (Budhavara), the weekday of Mercury, with green or yellow offerings.
बुध कवचम् ପାଠ ବିଧି
Bathe and sit facing north or east before an image of Budha or the Navagraha, ideally with a ghee lamp and offerings of green or yellow flowers, green moong (mung beans) and yellow or green cloth. Recite the viniyoga, then the dhyana and the kavacha verses guarding each limb, and finally the phalashruti. It is most powerful on Wednesdays and may be recited daily for the duration of a difficult Mercury dasha or for success in study and speech.
