The sufferings great will vanish for those who pray,
The riches will increase for those who paste it in their mind,
All penance will surely bear fruit,
By this Sashti Kavacham written by the grace of God.

On the feet of that Young God (Kumaran),
Who waged the war,
To end the problems of devas, great.

Welcome to thee Oh, Lord,
Who rides on the peacock,

Who comes accompanied by sweet songs,
Who comes with pleasing sound of ringing anklets,
Made by numerous bells tied to your feet.
And I pray Lord Saravana Bhava,
To bless this poem on Sashti.

And with your twelve eyes and coral like mouth.

knowledge will automatically be yours).
