Introduction
The Shri Navagraha Kavacham is a protective “armour” hymn for the worship of the nine planets — Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Mangala (Mars), Budha (Mercury), Brihaspati (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu and Ketu. Spoken by Brahma, it has the devotee seek protection for each part of the body — head, face, heart, belly, feet and more — from a particular planet, and it closes with the fruits of reciting and wearing it: long life, progeny, wealth, freedom from disease and bondage, and the destruction of sins. Its colophon places it in the Uttara Khanda of the Graha Yamala.
