What is The Devi Kavacam?
The Devi Kavacham is considered as a powerful stotram (chant) to nullify negative vibes around you. It acts as an armour in protecting one from any evil spirits. Devi Kavacham was recited by Lord Brahma to sage Markandeya and consists 47 slokas. Lord Brahma praises Goddess Parvati in nine different forms of Mother Divine. Lord Brahma solicits each one to recite Devi Kavacham and seek blessings of The Devis.
Devi Kavacham sloka invokes Goddess Devi as the chant mentions different Names of The Devi connected to different parts of the body. Every Name has a specific quality and energy. These Names and forms are closely related.
Slokas (chant) have the potential to turn around negative, repulsive vibrations into more positive and attractive vibrations. This is the advantage of chanting a sloka. It is said the person who recites Devi Kavacham regularly, with sincere devotion and correct pronunciation, is protected from all ills.
Chanting Devi Kavacham is popular during Navratri. It is also believed that by chanting Devi Kavacham, one gets health benefits too. It is recommended to to recite Devi Kavacham daily to reap the benefits.
Devi Kavacham is considered Beej of The Durga Saptashati or The Devi Mahatmya. The Beej Mantra is recited before all Mantra. Hence The Devi Kavacham is recited before Argala which is personified as Shakti and Keelakam.

Translation
OṀ. Salutations to Caṇḍikā.
Mārkaṇḍeya said:
1. OṀ. That which is the supreme secret in this world, affording every protection to humankind, which is not told to anyone—tell me that, O Grandsire.
Brahmā said:
2. There is a most hidden secret, O wise one, beneficial to all beings— The Holy Armor Of The Devī. Hear of it, O great sage.
3. First, She is called Śailaputrī; Second, Brahmacāriṇī; Third, Candraghaṇṭā; Fourth, Kūṣmāṇḍā.
4. Fifth, She is called Skandamatā; Sixth, Kātyāyanī; Seventh, Kālarātri; Eighth, Mahāgaurī.
5. And Ninth, She is Siddhidātrī. The Nine Durgās Are Revealed; the noble Brahmā has spoken their Names.
6. When consumed by fire or surrounded by enemies in battle, when seized by fear in adversity or crisis, those who take refuge in The Devī
7. will have nothing inauspicious befall them amidst the danger of battle, nor will they know any misfortune that brings grief, suffering or dread.
8. Those who remember Her always with devotion will surely win success. O Supreme Devī, you protect those who remember you. Of that there is no doubt.
9. Standing upon a corpse is Cāmuṇḍā; seated on a buffalo is Vārāhī; mounted on an elephant is Aindrī; seated on Garuda is Vaiṣṇavī.
10. Nārasirhhī is Great in Valor; Śivadūtī is Great in Might. Mounted on a bull is Māheśvarī, and borne on a peacock is Kaumārī.
11. Seated upon a lotus, with Lotus in Hand, is Lakṣmī, the Goddess beloved of Viṣṇu. And The Sovereign Devī Who is borne on a bull, Pure White Is The Form She Possesses.
12. Brāhmī, Adorned with all Her Jewels, Rides upon a swan. These, then, Are all The Mothers, All United Together,
13. arrayed in bejeweled Splendor, Adorned with all manner of gems: all with strands of the most excellent pearls and magic-bearing pendants,
14. with great blue sapphires and splendid rubies. Riding in chariots the Goddesses Appear, bristling with anger
15. and Bearing Conch, Discus, Mace, Spear, Plough, and Club; Shield, Lance, and Ax and Noose,
16. Pike, Trident, and Mighty Bow—Weapons to Destroy the demons’ bodies and to dispel the devotees’ fears.
17. Indeed, for the well-being of the Gods, They bear weapons in this manner. Salutations be unto You, Great Fierce One of Mighty and Awesome Courage.
18. O You of Great Might and Great Resolve, Annihilating Fear, Protect me, O Devī, Who are Difficult for our enemies to behold, for You Increase their dread.
19. May Aindrī Guard me in the East, and Agnidevatā in the Southeast; may Vārāhī Defend me in the South, and Khaḍgadhāriṇī in the Southwest.
20. May Vāruṇī Protect me in the West, and Mṛgavāhinī in the Northwest; may Kaumārī Protect me in the North, and Śūladhāriṇī in the Northeast.
21. May Brahmāṇī Guard me Above, and Vaiṣṇavī Below. In this way, may Cāmuṇḍā, Riding upon a corpse, Guard the Ten Directions.
22. May Jayā Stand in Front of me, and Vijaya Stand Behind; Ajitā on my Left, and Aparājitā on my Right.
23. May DyotinI Guard my Topknot. May Umā Abide Atop my Head, and Mālādhan on my Forehead. May Yasasvim Guard my Eyebrows.
24. May Citranetrā Abide in my Eyes, and Yamaghaṇṭā in my Nose. May Trinetrā Protect me With Her Trident, and Caṇḍikā Dwell between my Eyebrows.
25. May Śaṇkhinī Abide between my Eyes, and Dvāravāsinī Upon my Ears. May Kālika Guard my Cheeks, and Śaṇkarī Protect within my Ears.
26. And may Sugandhā Protect my Nostrils. May Carcikā Abide on my Upper Lip, Amṛtābālā on my Lower Lip, and Sarasvatī on my Tongue.
27. May Kaumārī Guard my Teeth, and Caṇḍikā my Throat. May Citraghaṇṭā Guard my Uvula, and Mahāmāyā Abide in my Palate.
28. May Kārnāksī Guard my Chin, Sarvamangalā my Voice, Bhadrakālī the Nape of my Neck, and Dhanurdharī my Spine.
29. May Nīlagrīvā Abide Outside my Throat, and Nalakūbarī Within. May Khadginī Guard my Shoulders, and Vajradhāriṇī my Arms.
30. May Daṇḍinī Guard my Hands; may Ambikā Abide in my Fingers. May Śūleśvarī Guard my Nails, and Nareśvarī my Abdomen.
31. May Mahādevī Guard my Chest, and Śokavināśinī my Mind. May The Devī Lalitā Abide in my Heart, and Sūladhāriṇī in my Stomach.
32. May Kāminī Guard my Navel, Guhyesvarī my Private Parts, Durgandhā my Penis, and Guhyavāhinī my Anus.
33. May Bhagavatī Guard my Hips, Meghavāhanā my Thighs, Mahābalā my Shanks, and Mādhavanāyikā my Knees.
34. May Nārasiṁhī Abide in my Ankles. May Kauśikī Guard my Heels, SrTdharī my Toes, and Pātālavāsinī the Soles of my Feet.
35. May Daṁṣṭrakarālī Guard my Toenails, and Ūrdhvakeśinī my Hair. May Kaumārī Abide in my Pores, and Yogīśvarī Protect my Skin.
36. May Pārvatī Guard my Blood, Bone-Marrow, Lymph, Flesh, Bones, and Fat. May Kālarātri Guard my Intestines, and Mukuṭeśvarī my Bile.
37. May Padmāvatī Guard my Lungs, and Cūdāmaṇi my Phlegm. May Jvālāmukhī Protect the Luster of my Nails, and Abhedyā Dwell in all my Joints.
38. May Brahmāṇī Guard my Semen, and Chatreśvarī my Shadow. May Dharmadhāriṇī Protect my Ego, Mind, and Intellect,
39. and likewise my Breath, Elimination, Digestion, Nervous System, and Body Heat. May Vajrahastā, Who Sparkles with Auspicious Beauty, Guard these, my Vital Forces.
40. May Yoginī Abide in Taste, Form, Smell, Sound, and Touch; and may Nārāyaṇī ever Guard my Knowledge, Action, and Desire.
41. May Vārāhī Protect the Span of my Life; may Pārvatī Protect my Virtue; may Vaiṣṇavī Protect always my Honor, Reputation, and Prosperity.
42. May Indrāṇī Guard my Stable, and Ma Caṇḍikā my Herds. May Mahālakṣmī Protect my Children, and Bhairavī, my Wife.
43. May Dhaneśvarī Guard my Wealth, and Kaumarī, my Virgin Daughter. May Supathā Guard my Way, and Kṣemaṅkarī also.
44. May Mahālakṣmī Dwell at my Gate, and Vijayā be Ever Abiding. That which remains excluded and wanting for Protection by this Armor,
45. all that Protect, O Devī, Who Conquer and Destroy all evil. At all times should one invoke This Holy Armor that Affords all Protection.
46. This secret have I revealed, O wise one, by reason of your devotion. If one seeks his own well-being, he should not take a single step
47. unclothed by This Armor, wherever he goes. Everywhere he will attain his ends, victorious, at all times.
48. Whatever desire he contemplates, that will he surely obtain. That man will attain unequaled supremacy on this earth.
49. That mortal will become fearless and unvanquished in battles. The man clad in This Armor is to be worshiped in the three worlds.
50. This Armor Of The Devī is difficult for even the Gods to obtain. He who recites it always at dawn, noon, and dusk, intent on devotion and possessed of faith,
51. attains a portion of The Divine and remains unconquered in the three worlds. He will live for a full hundred years, untouched by sudden or accidental death.
52. All his ailments will vanish—skin infections, eruptions, and the like—along with all manner of natural poisons and those of human artifice,
53. all spells, incantations, and magical charms in the world. Those creatures that go upon the earth, move through the air, and dwell in water, be they induced by others,
54. self-arisen or family-born; the dākinī, the śākinī, and such: the terrible, howling dākinīs that move through the atmosphere,
55. the spirits that possess, fiends and apparitions, ghosts, demons, and ghouls, the undead, spirits of terror, and the like,
56. all those perish at the sight of him who is clad in This Armor. The king will hold him in high regard, and the spreading of his glory will know no bounds.
57. Increased renown will be his, and his fame will be exalted. For this reason, the devotee should always recite The Wish-Fulfilling Armor, Owise one.
58. Having first done this, he should recite The Caṇḍī of seven-hundred verses. Without interruption he should accomplish his recital of The Caṇḍī.
59. As long as the earth’s globe, with its mountains, forests, and groves, endures, so long will his continuity through sons and grandsons last on this earth.
60. At death this person, Through Mahāmāyā’s Grace, will attain the supreme, eternal state, greatly difficult for even The Gods to reach.
61. He will go there, and having gone shall surely not return. He will attain the supreme state and with The Absolute will merge.
