Prapadye Venkatesakhyaam,

Tadeva kavacham mama                                              1

 

I bow and salute that Venkatesa,

Who is lord Narayana himself,

Who is  the divine Lord of all,

And who is the cause of all causes,

And chant his armour for myself.

 

Sahasra Seersha Purusho

Venkatesassirovatu

Pranesha Prananilayaha

Pranan rakshatu mey Harihi                                        2

 

Let my head be protected by,

Lord Venkatesa with thousand aspects,

Who is the lord of all souls,

And place where the soul merges.

 

Aakasaraat sutaanaatha

Aatmanam me sadavatu

Deva Devottamopayaad

deham mey Venkateswaraha                                         3

      

Let the Consort of the daughter of the sky,

May protect my soul always,

Let the body got from the lord of Lords,

Be protected by Lord Venkateswara.

 

Sarvatra sarvakaryeshu

Mangambajanireeswaraha

Palayenmam sada karma

saphalyam naha prayacchatu                                        4

 

Let the soul like consort of Alamelu Manga.

Take care of all my works always ,

And lead me to good results of all of them.

 

Ya Etad vajrakavacha

mabhedyam Venkatesituhu

Sayam Prataha patennityam

mrutyum tarati nirbhyaha                                                5

 

This diamond armour of Venkatesa,

 which can never be broken,

If read daily in the evening and morn,

Would help one to cross death without fear.
