I wont believe any other thing at any time,
Oh God whom I see, Oh God who blesses us in Kali age,
Just telling your name of Skanda would cure diseases quickly,
Oh Son of Parvathi, I praise your holy feet,
I believe in your holy feet , with your holy feet as witness.

Oh on of the mother of the world. Oh holy lord, please hear,
The only penance I ever do is repeating your name,
I would goo on telling it till there is a scar in my toungue,
I would go on breathing saying Muruga, Muruga,
I would see you as the single muruga, inside and outside me.
Angu ingu yennaathapadi yengume muruganappa,

Appappa Muruga nin arulle ullagamappa,
Arulellam murugan, anbellam murugan,
Sthaavara jangamamaay skandanaay aru uruvaay, 355
I find Murugan not here nor there but everywhere,
Without Murugan none of the three worlds can exist,
Oh Oh Muruga, Your grace itself is surely Muruga,
All the grace is Muruga, all the love is Muruga,
He became movable and immovable all his grace took the holy form.
Muruganaay mudalvalanaay aanavan skanda guru,

Charanam adainthavargal sayujyam pethriduvar,
Sathiyam chollugindren, sandegam illayappa,
Vedangal pothridum Vadivelan muruganai nee, 360
The Guru Skanda is Muruga as well as the first one,
Catching hold of the feet of the skanda of Skandashramam,
And surrendering to him would lead them to salvation,
I am telling the truth and there is no doubt about it,
You are the Vadivelan who is praised by the Vedas.
Sandegam illamal sathiyamaai nambiduvaay,

Sathiyam kaanave nee sathiyamai nambidappa,
Sathiyam veralla , skanda guru veralla,
Skanda guruve sathiyam, sathiyame skanda guru, 365
Without any doubt believe in the truth,
That Lord guru Skanda is the true God,
To see the truth you believe in the truth,
Truth is not some thing else , Guru is skanda is not different from it,
Guru Skanda is the truth and Truth is Guru Skanda,
Sathiyamaai chonnathai sathiyamaai nambiye nee,

Azhivathra brahmamaai aaki viduvaan murugan,
Thiru maraigal thirumuraigal cheppuvathum idhuve thaan,
Skanda guru kavchathai sontha makki kondu nee. 370
When truth has been told, believe it as truth,
In truth in Jnana become the eternal joy,
For Murugan would become the eternal Brahmam,
The Vedas and Vedas tell only about this,
And so make this armour of Guru Skanda as your own.
Porul unarnthu yethidappa , pollaappu vinai agalum,
Piravi pini agalum brahmaanantha mundu,
Immaiyilum marumayilm imayavar unnai pothriduvar,
Moovarume mun-nirpar, yaavarume poojippar,
Anu dhinamum kavachathai anbudan yethidappa. 375
Read it understanding its meaning and sins and bad name would vanish,
The disease of birth would go away and the eternal joy would come,
In this world and afterwards the gods would praise you,
The trinity would stand in front of you, and all people would worship you,
And so daily read the armour with mind full of love.
Sradhaa bhakthiyudan chinthayondri cheppidappa,
Kavalai agarndridume, kandan arul pongidume,
Pirappum irappum pinigalum tholayinthidume,
Kandan kavachame kavacham yendru unarnthiduvaay,
Kavacham yethuveer-ale kaliyai jeyithidalam. 380
With attention and devotion do it with concentration,
Worries would go away, the grace of Skanda would increase,
The disease of death and birth would go away,
Realize that armour of Skanda is the only armour,
If you read this armour, you can win over Kali age.
Kali yendra arakkanai kavacham virattidume,
Chonna padi cheythu sukam adaivai maname nee,
Skanda guru kavachathai karuthoondri yethuvorkku,
Ashta iswaryam tharum andamilla inbam tharum,
Aal pol thazhaithiduvan, arugu pol ver oodiduvan. 385
The armour would drive away the ogre called Kali,
You would attain happiness , if you obey what is said,
They who read this Kanda Guru armour with concentration of thought,
The eight types of wealth would come and endless joy would be theirs,
He would grow like a banyan tree and send roots like a grass.

Garvam kaama krodham kali dosham agathru-vikkum, 390
Like Banana growing under banana his family would grow,
He would get sixteen good things and live for several years,
Peace , joy and all that is good would increase,
If this Skanda guru armour is read with attention,
Pride, passion , anger and ills of Kali age would go away.
Mun cheytha vinai agandru murugan arul kitti-vidum,

Aachaaram seelamudan aadhi nema nishtaiyudan,
Kallamilla ullathodu kanda guru kavcham thannai,
Sradhaa bhakthiyudan shiva kumaranai ninaythu. 395
The sins done earlier would go away and the grace of Muruga would be got,
Dharma, wealth , joy and salvation would be attained easily,
Following purity , obeying the rules and with discipline,
And with a pure mind if Skanda Guru armour,
Is read with attention and devotion and thinking of the son of Lord Shiva.
Paaraayanam cheyveer-ale paarkkalaam kandanaiyum,
Kanda guru kavachamithai mandalam nishtaiyudan,
Pagal iravu paaraamal oru manathaai pagaruveer-ale,
Thiru murugan vel kondu thikkugal thorum nindru,
Kaathiduvaan kanda guru kavalai illai nischayamaai. 400
If you read it with devotion, you can see Kanda,
If this Kanda Guru armour is read with purity for forty days,
Without bothering whether it is day or night and with single mindedness,
The holy Muruga as Skanda Guru would come with Vel
And stand in all directions, protect you, so please do not worry.
Jnaana skandanin thiruvadiyai nambiye nee,
Kanda guru kavacham thannai oduvadhe thavam yenave,
Unarnthu kondu othuvai-ale unaku perithaana,
Iga para sukham undaam, yen-naalum thunbam yillai,
Thunbam agaruvidum thonthiraigal neengi vidum. 405
You believe in the holy feet of Jnana kanda,
Thinking that reading Kanda Guru kavacham is an austerity
And start reading it with belief in it , then to you,
Pleasure of this and other world will come ,
There would not be sorrow any time ever,
Sorrows will run away and troubles will vanish.
Inbam perugi vidum , ishta sidhi koodi vidum,

Kaathu rakshikum kanda guru kavchamume,
Kavalayai vittu nee kanda guru kavachamidhai,

Carry his weapon of stick and would appear before you.

If it is read three times, Skanda Guru would stand in front of you,
Read it four times daily and get all good boons,

Yettu murai yethil at-tamaa sithi kittum,
Onbadhu tharam odhin marana bhayam ozhiyum,

Munthai vinai yellam kandan agathriduvaan,
Nithaigal neengi vidum nishtaiyume kai koodum,
Kannimaar odai neerai kai kalil nee yeduthu, 440
After taking bath in the stream of virgins and applying sacred ash,
After reading Kanda Guru armour and climb the kanda mountain,
Would make Kanda remove all sins committed before that time,
All noterity will vanish , you would be able to do meditation,
Take the water of the stream of virgins in your hand,
Kandan yendra mandirathai kan moodi uruvethi,
Uchiyilum thelithu utkondu vittittaal un,
Chitha malam agandru chitha suthiyum kodukkum,
Kannimaar devigalai kannimaar odayile,
Kandu vazhi pattu kanda giri yeriduveer. 445
Make it holy by chanting the chant of the name “Kanda”,
Sprinkle on your head and swallow a little,
And this would remove the dirt of your mind and your mind would become clean,
In the stream of virgins, pray the Virgin goddesses,
Salute them and climb the Kanda mountain.,

Of Lord teacher Skanda who is the fruit of Shiva wisdom,
Because you are a fruit did you go and stay in Pazhani,
And in Thiruvavin kudi you became Thiru murugan,
Oh lad Muruga, Oh teacher Guha, Oh holder of Vel,
You gave Thamiz Nadu to Agasthya and you ruled over it.

Oh Skanda Kumara who blessed the lady Avvai,
Please grand me character, pity and meditation,
Oh prettiest of the world who blessed sage Bhogar,
Oh God Danda Pani , please give me a stick and bless me.

Please embrace me along with a stick in your beggar role,
Oh flame of the weapon of stick , who is praised by all gods,
Who became the Skanda giri flame on Skanda giri,
Please bless me with a side long glance , Oh teacher Skanda full of mercy,
Please protect this poor man, I will chant your name,
Unnai andri verondrai oru podum nambugilean,

Kandan yendru peyar chonnal kadidaaga noy theerum,
Bhuvaneswari mainda pothrinean unn thiruvadiyai,
Thiruvadiyai nambinean thiruvadi saakshiyaaga. 345
I wont believe any other thing at any time,
Oh God whom I see, Oh God who blesses us in Kali age,
Just telling your name of Skanda would cure diseases quickly,
Oh Son of Parvathi, I praise your holy feet,
I believe in your holy feet , with your holy feet as witness.
Bhuvana maatha maindane, punniya moorthiye kel,
Nin naamam yethuvathe naan cheyyum thavamaagum,
Nathaazhum perave yethiduvean nin naamam,
Muruga muruga vendre moochellam vittiduvean,
Ullum puramum oru muruganaye kaanben. 350
Oh on of the mother of the world. Oh holy lord, please hear,
The only penance I ever do is repeating your name,
I would goo on telling it till there is a scar in my toungue,
I would go on breathing saying Muruga, Muruga,
I would see you as the single muruga, inside and outside me.
Angu ingu yennaathapadi yengume muruganappa,
Murugan yillaavittal moovulagum yethappa,
Appappa Muruga nin arulle ullagamappa,
Arulellam murugan, anbellam murugan,
Sthaavara jangamamaay skandanaay aru uruvaay, 355
I find Murugan not here nor there but everywhere,
Without Murugan none of the three worlds can exist,
Oh Oh Muruga, Your grace itself is surely Muruga,
All the grace is Muruga, all the love is Muruga,
He became movable and immovable all his grace took the holy form.
Muruganaay mudalvalanaay aanavan skanda guru,
Skandaasramam irukkum skanda guru adi pathri,
Charanam adainthavargal sayujyam pethriduvar,
Sathiyam chollugindren, sandegam illayappa,
Vedangal pothridum Vadivelan muruganai nee, 360
The Guru Skanda is Muruga as well as the first one,
Catching hold of the feet of the skanda of Skandashramam,
And surrendering to him would lead them to salvation,
I am telling the truth and there is no doubt about it,
You are the Vadivelan who is praised by the Vedas.
Sandegam illamal sathiyamaai nambiduvaay,
Sathiyamana deivam skanda guru Naathan,
Sathiyam kaanave nee sathiyamai nambidappa,
Sathiyam veralla , skanda guru veralla,
Skanda guruve sathiyam, sathiyame skanda guru, 365
Without any doubt believe in the truth,
That Lord guru Skanda is the true God,
To see the truth you believe in the truth,
Truth is not some thing else , Guru is skanda is not different from it,
Guru Skanda is the truth and Truth is Guru Skanda,
Sathiyamaai chonnathai sathiyamaai nambiye nee,
Sathiyamaai jnaamaai sadaanandam agi vidu,
Azhivathra brahmamaai aaki viduvaan murugan,
Thiru maraigal thirumuraigal cheppuvathum idhuve thaan,
Skanda guru kavchathai sontha makki kondu nee. 370
When truth has been told, believe it as truth,
In truth in Jnana become the eternal joy,
For Murugan would become the eternal Brahmam,
The Vedas and Vedas tell only about this,
And so make this armour of Guru Skanda as your own.
Porul unarnthu yethidappa , pollaappu vinai agalum,
Piravi pini agalum brahmaanantha mundu,
Immaiyilum marumayilm imayavar unnai pothriduvar,
Moovarume mun-nirpar, yaavarume poojippar,
Anu dhinamum kavachathai anbudan yethidappa. 375
Read it understanding its meaning and sins and bad name would vanish,
The disease of birth would go away and the eternal joy would come,
In this world and afterwards the gods would praise you,
The trinity would stand in front of you, and all people would worship you,
And so daily read the armour with mind full of love.
Sradhaa bhakthiyudan chinthayondri cheppidappa,
Kavalai agarndridume, kandan arul pongidume,
Pirappum irappum pinigalum tholayinthidume,
Kandan kavachame kavacham yendru unarnthiduvaay,
Kavacham yethuveer-ale kaliyai jeyithidalam. 380
With attention and devotion do it with concentration,
Worries would go away, the grace of Skanda would increase,
The disease of death and birth would go away,
Realize that armour of Skanda is the only armour,
If you read this armour, you can win over Kali age.
Kali yendra arakkanai kavacham virattidume,
Chonna padi cheythu sukam adaivai maname nee,
Skanda guru kavachathai karuthoondri yethuvorkku,
Ashta iswaryam tharum andamilla inbam tharum,
Aal pol thazhaithiduvan, arugu pol ver oodiduvan. 385
The armour would drive away the ogre called Kali,
You would attain happiness , if you obey what is said,
They who read this Kanda Guru armour with concentration of thought,
The eight types of wealth would come and endless joy would be theirs,
He would grow like a banyan tree and send roots like a grass.
Vazhai aadi vazhaiyai pol vamsamadhai pethriduvan,
Pathinaarum pethru pallaandu vazhinthiduvan,
Saanthiyum soukhyamum sarva mangalamum perikidume,
Skanda guru kavachamidhai karuthu iruthi yethruveer-ale,
Garvam kaama krodham kali dosham agathru-vikkum, 390
Like Banana growing under banana his family would grow,
He would get sixteen good things and live for several years,
Peace , joy and all that is good would increase,
If this Skanda guru armour is read with attention,
Pride, passion , anger and ills of Kali age would go away.
Mun cheytha vinai agandru murugan arul kitti-vidum,
Aram porul inbam veedu athi sulbhamaay kittum,
Aachaaram seelamudan aadhi nema nishtaiyudan,
Kallamilla ullathodu kanda guru kavcham thannai,
Sradhaa bhakthiyudan shiva kumaranai ninaythu. 395
The sins done earlier would go away and the grace of Muruga would be got,
Dharma, wealth , joy and salvation would be attained easily,
Following purity , obeying the rules and with discipline,
And with a pure mind if Skanda Guru armour,
Is read with attention and devotion and thinking of the son of Lord Shiva.
Paaraayanam cheyveer-ale paarkkalaam kandanaiyum,
Kanda guru kavachamithai mandalam nishtaiyudan,
Pagal iravu paaraamal oru manathaai pagaruveer-ale,
Thiru murugan vel kondu thikkugal thorum nindru,
Kaathiduvaan kanda guru kavalai illai nischayamaai. 400
If you read it with devotion, you can see Kanda,
If this Kanda Guru armour is read with purity for forty days,
Without bothering whether it is day or night and with single mindedness,
The holy Muruga as Skanda Guru would come with Vel
And stand in all directions, protect you, so please do not worry.
Jnaana skandanin thiruvadiyai nambiye nee,
Kanda guru kavacham thannai oduvadhe thavam yenave,
Unarnthu kondu othuvai-ale unaku perithaana,
Iga para sukham undaam, yen-naalum thunbam yillai,
Thunbam agaruvidum thonthiraigal neengi vidum. 405
You believe in the holy feet of Jnana kanda,
Thinking that reading Kanda Guru kavacham is an austerity
And start reading it with belief in it , then to you,
Pleasure of this and other world will come ,
There would not be sorrow any time ever,
Sorrows will run away and troubles will vanish.
Inbam perugi vidum , ishta sidhi koodi vidum,
Piravi pini agathri brahma nishtaiyum thandhu,
Kaathu rakshikum kanda guru kavchamume,
Kavalayai vittu nee kanda guru kavachamidhai,
Iruntha padi irunthu yethrividu, yethrinaal, 410
Joys will increase , desired occult powers will be yours,
The sins you were born with will be removed,
And you would be given the power to meditate on Brahmam,
And you would be protected for ever by this armour of Kanda Guru,
Leave out all your worries and from wherever you are,

Ajnaana-mamum agathri arul oliyum kaattum,
Jnaana skanda guru naan yendrum munnirppan. 415

Would praise you and would definitely obey your wishes,
This armour of Skanda Guru would drive away the devil of suspicion,
Would remove ignorance , would show you the divine grace,
And the Jnana Skanda Guru would stand in front of you.

Yengum thanaik-kaatti, yenkum-unaik-kaattiduvaan,
Skanda jothiyaana kandan kanda giri irundu,
Dandaayutham thaangi tharugindraan kaatchi yume 420
He would be within you and become your inner light,
He will show himself in you and you in himself,
He would show himself everywhere and show you everywhere,
The Kanda who is the Skanda flame would from Skanda giri,
Carry his weapon of stick and would appear before you.
Kandan pugazh paada kanda giri vaarumine,

Moondru tharam oduthin mun-nirpan Skanda Guru,
Nan murai odhi dinam nalla varam peruveer,

If it is read three times, Skanda Guru would stand in front of you,
Read it four times daily and get all good boons,

Aru murai odhi aaruthalai pethriduveer,
Yezhu murai dinam odhin yellaam vasa-maagum,
Yettu murai yethil at-tamaa sithi kittum,
Onbadhu tharam odhin marana bhayam ozhiyum,
Pathu tharam odhi nitham pattru aruthu vaazhveere. 435

Read it nine times , fear of death will vanish,
And reading ten takes would make you live unattached.
Kannimaar odaiyile neeraadi neeru poosi,

Munthai vinai yellam kandan agathriduvaan,
Nithaigal neengi vidum nishtaiyume kai koodum,
Kannimaar odai neerai kai kalil nee yeduthu, 440
After taking bath in the stream of virgins and applying sacred ash,
After reading Kanda Guru armour and climb the kanda mountain,
Would make Kanda remove all sins committed before that time,
All noterity will vanish , you would be able to do meditation,
Take the water of the stream of virgins in your hand,
Kandan yendra mandirathai kan moodi uruvethi,
Uchiyilum thelithu utkondu vittittaal un,
Chitha malam agandru chitha suthiyum kodukkum,
Kannimaar devigalai kannimaar odayile,
Kandu vazhi pattu kanda giri yeriduveer. 445
Make it holy by chanting the chant of the name “Kanda”,
Sprinkle on your head and swallow a little,
And this would remove the dirt of your mind and your mind would become clean,
In the stream of virgins, pray the Virgin goddesses,
Salute them and climb the Kanda mountain.,
Kanda giri yeri jnaana kanda guru kavachamidhai,
Paaraayanam cheydhu ulagil pakkiyamellam pethriduveer. 447
