Narasimha Kavacham From Brahmasamhita is an armor to the reciter of the sadhak. Narasimha is known primarily as the ‘Great Protector’ who specifically defends and protects his devotees in times of need.
Lord Narasimha is often visualized as half-man/half-lion, having a human-like torso and lower body, with a lion-like face and claws. This Kavacham is practiced to remove the enemies and sins from one’s life.
One who listens to this Kavacham every day enjoys the divine grace of Lord Narasimha and he becomes victorious everywhere.
The Kavacham has the divine ability to fulfill all the wishes, removes malefic effects of planets, black magic, evil-eye, and is a cure to remove the negative impacts of Karna Pishachini Sadhna.
नृसिंहकवचं ब्रह्मसंहितायाम्
ब्रह्मा जी ने कहा – सुनो पुत्र तपोधन नारद, यह नृसिंह कवच त्रैलोक्यविजयी है। हे वत्स, इसे पढ़ने व धारण करने से ही मैं जगत्सृष्टा हूँ और लक्ष्मी तीन जगतों की पालनकर्ता हैं और महेश्वर संहारक।
इसे पढ़ व धारण कर अनेक देव दिगीश्वर बन गए हैं। यह ब्रह्मंत्रमय और भ्रांति आदि का निवारक है। इसी के प्रसाद से ऋषि दुर्वासा त्रैलोक्यविजयी बने और इसी को पढ़ने व धारण करने से क्रोधभैरव शास्ता हैं।
हे वत्स, मैंने स्नेहवश तुम्हें समस्त मंत्र बता दिए। इनको तुम किसी अन्य से मत कहना। वह कवच गुरु पूजा के उपरांत ग्रहण किया जाता है। इससे मानव सर्वपुण्यमय और सर्वसिद्धिमय होता है।
इसके पुरश्चरण में मंत्र के एक सौ आठ जप का विधान है। जप के दशांश का हवन आदि करने के बाद उत्तम का कवच सिद्ध होता है और वह रूप में मदनवत होता है।
लक्ष्मी स्पर्ध्धामुक्त होकर उसके घर में वास करती है और वाणी उसके मुख में। आठ पुष्पांजलियां देते हुए मूलमंत्र सहित कवच मंत्रों को एक बार पढ़ा जाए तो सहस्रों वर्षों की पूजा का फल प्राप्त होता है।
भोजपत्र पर इसे लिखकर और स्वर्ण गटिका में डालकर गले या दाईं बांह में धारण किया जाए तो धारक स्वयं नृसिंह रूप होता है। यह कवच नारी बाई बांह में व पुरुष दाईं बांह में बांधे तो वह समस्त सिद्धियां प्राप्त करता है।
काकबंध्या, मृतवत्सा, जन्मवंध्या व नष्टपुत्रा नारी बहुपुत्रवती होती है। कवच के प्रसाद से नर जीवनमुक्त होता है। इससे वह त्रैलोक्य को शोभित करता है और त्रैलोक्य विजयी होता है।
भूत, प्रेत, पिशाच, राक्षस, दानव व अन्य आपदाएं कवच को देखकर देश-देशांतरों की ओर पलायन करती हैं, यह ध्रुव सत्य है। जिसके ग्रह अथवा ग्राम में यह कवच है, उसे देखकर समस्त आपदाएं उस स्थान को त्याग कर दूर भागती हैं।

In the house where is performed Lakshmi and Saraswathi would live,
The lucky man who would offer flowers one hundred and eight times,
And would read the complete text once., would get the same effect,
As one has offered worship to the God for one thousand years,
And if one gets the kavacham written, put it in a golden locket and wear it,
Either on the neck or n the left arm, Narasimha would be with him personally,
.This should be worn in the left hand by a girl and right hand by a woman,
And this auspicious armor would certainly bring good to the wearer.
The lady who does not have sons or a lady who bears only dead sons,
Or The lady who is totally barren or the lady whose children are dead,
Would bear many sons and he would become a liberated soul.

Taṃ Deśantu Parityaja Prayānti Cāti Dūrataḥ
Even if all the three worlds are at war with them, they would win over them,
And devils, ghosts, dead souls, Rakshasas, and other bad beings,
As soon as they see them they would certainly run away from that place.
In the house or the village if this armor is installed,
Such beings would leave away from that place and run away to far-off places.
