॥ श्री नवग्रह कवचम् ॥

ॐ अस्य श्रीनवग्रहकवचस्य। व्यास ऋषिः। अनुष्टुप् छन्दः।

नवग्रहा देवता। ग्रहशान्त्यर्थे जपे विनियोगः॥

सूर्यः पातु शिरो मध्ये चन्द्रो मे ललाटकम्।

मङ्गलो नेत्रयोः पातु बुधः कर्णौ सदा ऽवतु॥ १॥

गुरुः पातु मम वक्त्रं शुक्रो मे कण्ठमव्ययम्।

शनिः स्कन्धौ सदा पातु राहुर्बाहू सदा ऽवतु॥ २॥

केतुः करौ सदा पातु सूर्यो हृदयमव्ययम्।

चन्द्रः कुक्षिं सदा पातु मङ्गलो मे कटिं सदा॥ ३॥

बुधो जानुद्वयं पातु गुरुर्जंघे सदा ऽवतु।

शुक्रः पादौ सदा पातु शनिर्देहं समन्ततः॥ ४॥

राहुः प्राच्यां सदा पातु केतुर्दक्षिणमव्ययम्।

सूर्यः पश्चिमदिक् पातु चन्द्र उत्तरमव्ययम्॥ ५॥

य इदं कवचं दिव्यं नवग्रहमयं शुभम्।

पठेद्भक्तिसमायुक्तो ग्रहपीडा न बाधते॥ ६॥
