A protective armour especially for young babies in which the power of the Lord’s Name is invoked to protect various limbs. This was first sung by the Gopis of Braja, headed by Ma Yashoda, in the gaushala of Nanda Baba in Gokul when Shri Krishna was only six days old.

Putana Kavach
SB 10.6.22-29

avyādajo'ṅghri maṇimāṃstava jānvathorū
yajño'cyutaḥ kaṭitaṭaṃ jaṭharaṃ hayāsyaḥ ।
hṛt keśavastvadura īśa inastu kaṇṭhaṃ
viṣṇurbhujaṃ mukhamurukrama īśvaraḥ kam ॥ 22

cakrayagrataḥ sahagado harirastu paścāt
tvatpārśvayordhanurasī madhuhājanaśca ।
koṇeṣu śaṅkha urugāya uparyupendra
stārkṣyaḥ kṣitau haladharaḥ puruṣaḥ samantāt ॥ 23

indriyāṇi hṛṣīkeśaḥ prāṇān nārāyaṇo'vatu ।
śvetadvīpapatiścittaṃ mano yogeśvaro'vatu ॥ 24

pṛśnigarbhastu te buddhimātmānaṃ bhagavān paraḥ ।
krīḍantaṃ pātu govindaḥ śayānaṃ pātu mādhavaḥ ॥ 25

vrajantamavyād vaikuṇṭha āsīnaṃ tvāṃ śriyaḥ patiḥ ।
bhuñjānaṃ yajñabhuk pātu sarvagrahabhayaṅkaraḥ ॥ 26

ḍākinyo yātudhānyaśca kūṣmāṇḍā ye'rbhakagrahāḥ ।
bhūtapretapiśācāśca yakṣarakṣovināyakāḥ ॥ 27

koṭarā revatī jyeṣṭhā pūtanā mātṛkādayaḥ ।
unmādā ye hyapasmārā dehaprāṇendriyadruhaḥ ॥ 28

svapnadṛṣṭā mahotpātā vṛddhabālagrahāśca ye ।
sarve naśyantu te viṣṇornāmagrahaṇabhīravaḥ ॥ 29

[Śukadeva Gosvāmī informed Mahārāja Parīkṣit that the gopīs, following the proper system, protected Kṛṣṇa, their child, with this mantra.]

May Aja protect Your legs, may Maṇimān protect Your knees, Yajña Your thighs, Acyuta the upper part of Your waist, and Hayagrīva Your abdomen.

May Keśava protect Your heart, Īśa Your chest, the sun-god Your neck, Viṣṇu Your arms, Urukrama Your face, and Īśvara Your head.

May Cakrī protect You from the front; may Śrī Hari, Gadādharī, the carrier of the club, protect You from the back; and may the carrier of the bow, who is known as the enemy of Madhu, and Lord Ajana, the carrier of the sword, protect Your two sides.

May Lord Urugāya, the carrier of the conchshell, protect You from all corners; may Upendra protect You from above; may Garuḍa protect You on the ground; and may Lord Haladhara, the Supreme Person, protect You on all sides.

May Hṛṣīkeśa protect Your senses, and Nārāyaṇa Your life air. May the master of Śvetadvīpa protect the core of Your heart, and may Lord Yogeśvara protect Your mind.

May Lord Pṛśnigarbha protect Your intelligence, and the Supreme Personality of Godhead Your soul. While You are playing, may Govinda protect You, and while You are sleeping may Mādhava protect You. May Lord Vaikuṇṭha protect You while You are walking, and may Lord Nārāyaṇa, the husband of the goddess of fortune, protect You while You are sitting. Similarly, may Lord Yajñabhuk, the fearful enemy of all evil planets, always protect You while You enjoy life.

The evil witches known as Ḍākinīs, Yātudhānīs and Kuṣmāṇḍas are the greatest enemies of children, and the evil spirits like Bhūtas, Pretas, Piśācas, Yakṣas, Rākṣasas and Vināyakas, as well as witches like Koṭarā, Revatī, Jyeṣṭhā, Pūtanā and Mātṛkā, are always ready to give trouble to the body, the life air and the senses, causing loss of memory, madness and bad dreams.

Like the most experienced evil stars, they all create great disturbances, especially for children, but one can vanquish them simply by uttering Lord Viṣṇu's name, for when Lord Viṣṇu's name resounds, all of them become afraid and go away.
