Bhairava Uvacha:
Kaalika ya mahavidya kathitha bhuvi dhurlabha
Tathaapi hrudaye shalyamasthi devi krupankuru
Kavachantu mahaadevi kathaya swaanukampaya
Yadhi no kathyathe maatharvimuchchami thadha thanum
Shridevyuvacha:
Shankaapi jaayathe vathsa thava snehaath prakaashitham
Na vakthavyam na dhrustavyamathiguhyatharam mahath
Kaalika jagathaam maatha shokadhuhkavinaashini
Visheshathaha kaliyuge mahaapaathakahaarini
Kali me purathaha paathu prustathascha kapaalini
Kulla me dhakshine paathu kurukulla thathotthare
Virodhini shiraha paathu viprachittha thu chakshushi
Ugra me naasikam paathu karnou chograprabha tatha
Vadhanam paathu me deeptha neela cha chibukam sadha
Ghana greevam sadha paathu valaaka baahuyugmakam
Maathra paathu karadwandwam vaksho mudra sadhaavathu
Mitha paathu sthanadwandwam yonimandaladevata
Brahmi me jataram paathu naabhim narayani thatha
Ooru maaheshwari nitya chamunda paathu lingakam
Koumari cha katim paathu tathaiva jaanuyugmakam
Aparajithaa cha padhou me varahi paathu chaanguleem
Sandhisthaanam narasimhi pathrastha devathaavathu
Rakshahinanthu yathsthanam varjitham kavachena thu
Thatsarvam raksha me devi kalike ghoradakshine
Oordhvamadhastha dhikshu paathu devi swayam vapuhu
Hinsrebhyaha sarvadha paathu sadhakebhyo jaladhikath
Dakshina kalika devi vyapam me sadhavathu
Idham kavachamajnaathva yo bhajedh ghoradhakshinam
Na poojafalamapnothi vighnasthasya padhe padhe
Kavachenavrutho nithyam yathra yathraiva gacchathi
Tathra tathraabhayam thasya na kshobho vidhyathe kwachith
Above is the Dakshinakali kavacham, which should be recited as it saves sadhaka.
