Origin & Story

Brahmanda Purana (spoken by Prahlada) · Prahlada · Puranic

The Narasimha Kavacham is traditionally ascribed to Prahlada. The protective armour-hymn of Lord Narasimha, the man-lion avatar of Vishnu, as told by the devotee Prahlada in the Brahmanda Purana — invoking the fierce, fearless Lord to guard the devotee on every side from all danger, fear and evil.

✦ As told in scripture

It is said that to recite the Narasimha Kavacham with a sincere and devoted heart is to draw near to the grace of the divine, which never forsakes those who lovingly call upon it.
