Budhasthu pusthakadhara kumkumasya samadhyuthi, Peethambardhara pathu, peethamalyanu lepana. 1
Let us be protected by Budha, Who holds a book in his hand, Who shines with Kumkuma*, Who wears yellow silk, And who wears yellow garland. *saffron
Katim cha pathu may soumya, siro desam budhasthadha, Nethra jnanamaya pathu, srothre pathu nisa priya. 2
Let him who is peaceful protect my hip, Let my head and surroundings be protected by Budha, Let my eyes be protected by the one who is engulfed in knowledge, Let my ears be protected by him who loves night.
Granam gandha priya pathu, jihwam vidhyapriyo mama, Kantam pathu vidho, puthro bhujow pusthaka bhooshana. 3
Let my sense of smell be protected he who likes scents, Let my toungue be protected by he who likes knowledge, Let my neck be protected by the knowledgable one, Let my arms be protected by he who is decorated by books.
Vaksha pathu varangascha, hrudhayam rohini sutha, Nabhim pathu suraradhyo, madhyam pathu khageswara. 4
Let my breast be protected by the blessed one, Let my heart be protected by son of Rohini, Let my belly be protected by first among devas, Let my middle be protected by God of the birds.
Januni rohinoyascha pathu jange akhila pradha, Pathou may bhodhana pathu, Pathu sowmyam akhilo vapu. 5
Let my knee be protected by he who belongs to Rohini, Let my calf be protected by he who knows everything, Let my feet be protected by he who is expert teacher, And let all the rest of me be protected by he who is peaceful.
Yethadwi kavacham divyam, sarva papa pranasanam, SArva roga prasamanam, sarva dukha nivaranam. 6
This Armour which is holy, Destroys all sins committed, Cures all types of diseases, And is the panacea for all sorrow.
Ayur aroghya subhadham, puthra pouthra prabhardhanam, Ya padeth srunuyath vapi sarvathra vijayee bhaveth. 7
It blesses one with long healthy life, Increases sons and grand sons,
And those who read or hear it, Would be victorious everywhere.
Ithi Sri Brahma Vaivartha Purane Budha Kavacham Sampoornam
Thus ends the armour of Mercury which occurs in Brahma Vaivartha purana.

Budha Pancha Vimsathi Stotram

(The twenty five names of Planet Mercury)
Translated by P.R.Ramachander
(This prayer to Budha (Planet Mercury) occurs in Padma Purana. Budha according to Indian mythology is the son of moon and Thara , a young wife of Brahaspathi (Planet Jupiter) , who himself was the teacher of the moon .But this stotra mentions him as the son of Rohinithe favourite wife of moon. . He is supposed to control intelligence in human beings.)
Budho, budhimatham sreshto, budhi datha, dhana pradha, Priyanmgulika shyama, kanja nethro manohara. 1
Budha, the chief among those wise, the giver of knowledge The giver of wealth , He who has dear fingers, He who is black in colour., And he who has smoke colured eyes and he who is pretty.
Grahopamo rouhineeya nakshthreso dhaya kara, Virudha karya hantha cha soumyo budhi vivardhana. 2
He who is matchless among planets, He who is the son of Rohini, He who is the Lord of stars, he who does merciful deeds, And he who stops misdeeds of enemies, He who is peaceful , He who increases wisdom.
Chandrathmajo Vishnu roopi jnanijno jnani nayaka, Graha peeda haro Dhara puthra dhanya pasu pradha. 3
He who is the son of moon, he who has same form as Vishnu, He who makes others wise, he who is the leader of the wise, He who removes bad effects of planets, And he who bestows wife, son , grain and cattle wealth.
Loka Priya soumya moorthi gunadho guni vathsala.
He who is dear to all people , he who has a peaceful mien, He who does good deeds and he who likes good people.
Pancha vimsathi namani budhasyethani ya padeth, Smruthwa budham sada thasya peedaa sarva vinasyathi 5
He who reads these twenty five names of Budha, Meditating on him , would get all sufferings killed forever.
Thadhine va padedhyasthu labhathe sa manogatham.
If this is read on the day of Budha( Wednesday), All our desires would be fulfilled.
