Shatrughan

Founder of Mathura

Ancestor
http://ayodhyainformation.blogspot.com/search/label/Born

Lohavan is one of the 12 forests of Vraja. Here, Satrughna, younger brother of Lord Rama, killed Lohajanghasura.

This Lohavan is also the battlefield where Krsna fought and defeated Jarasandha. Today we heard that each time Jarasandha was defeated by Krsna he would return home, gather a new army, and engage Brahmans to perform yajnas, etc, to hopefully ensure victory against the Lord. However, he was defeated 17 times by the Him.

After the 17th time, Jarasandha threatened to kill the Brahmans if he again lost the fight. So, the Brahmans wrote to Krsna and asked His help. This is one of the reasons why Krsna chose to run away from the 18th battle against Jarasandha and earn Himself the name Ranachora. Radha Gopinath Mandir. This is a famous temple in Lohavan with deties of Radha Gopinath.

Shatrugna Kavacham
(The armour of Shatrugna)

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(Shatrugna  was the youngest brother of Rama . He was born to Kaikeyi. It is believed that he is an incarnation of Sudarshana Chakra. There is a temple dedicated to Shatrugna in Payyamal in Kerala. There is a temple dedicated to him in Rishikesh.This rare Kavacham has been taken from the book, “49 Kavachangal” published by Vidhyarambham publishers, Kerala)


Sathrugnan  drutha karmukham  drutha maha  thuneera banothamam,
Parswe  Sri Raghu nandanasya  vinayadh  vame sthitham sundaram.
Ramam sweeyakarena thala dalajam, dhrtwadi chithram varam,
Sooryabham  vyajanam sabha sthitham, aham tham vijayantham bhaje.


I sing about that victorious one , who  is the destroyer of enemies.
Who holds  the bow as well as quiver full of arrows ,
Who is pretty and stands with humility  on the left  side  of Lord Rama,
Who  has been taught by Rama with his own hands , who carries his great form,
Who shines like Sun  and fans Rama  in the hall of audience.

Asya Sri Shatrugna kavacha manthrasya Agasthya rishi , Sri Shatrugno devatha , anushtup chanda , sudarsanan ithi bheejam , Kaikeyi nandana ithi Shakthi, Sri Bharathanuja ithi kelakam , Bharatha manthreesthyasthram  Sri Rama dasa ithi kavacham , Lakshmanamsaja  ithi manthram, Sri Shatrugna  preethyartham  sakala mana kamana sidhyartham  Jape viniyoga

For the armour of Shatrugna  the sage is Agasthya , the God addressed is Shatrugna , the meter is Anushtup , the seed is Sudarshana chakra , the power is son of Kaikeyi,  brother of Bharatha is the nail . The minister of Bharatha is the arrow , The slave of Rama is the armour , The chant is one who has  a part of Lakshmana  and this is being chanted to please Shatrugna  as well as to get fulfilled all the desires of my mind.
