Shiva Kavacham
Shiva Kavacham
(Armour of Shiva)
By Sage Rishabha
(Rishbha (deva) was born as a king in the family of Swayambhuva manu. He married Meru devi and had one hundred children,. When they grew up, he entrusted the kingdom to his eldest son and retired to the forest. He became a great sage and a great devotee of Lord Shiva. He met in the forest a prince called Bhadraayu, who was driven out from his kingdom along with his mother by his enemies. Rishabha deva taught him the Shivakavacha, using which Bhadarayu regained his king dom. This story forms a part of Skanda purana This Kavacham (armour) addressed to Lord Shiva is unique and very important.)
