इसी कवच के जप और गाय की पूंछ से झाड़ा देकर, यशोदाजी ने बालगोपाल स्वरूप श्रीकृष्ण भगवान की उस समय रक्षा की जब पूतना का भगवान श्रीकृष्ण ने दुग्धपान करते हुए प्राण पी लिये, तब उसके संसर्ग दोष को दूर करने के लिए इस कवच का पाठ किया गया था।
अस्तु, इसमें भगवान नारायण के २४ अवतारों का स्मरण किया गया है, जिसके कारण इस कवच का बहुत अधिक महत्त्व है और यह कवच परम कल्याण करने वाला है।
श्रीकृष्ण जन्माष्टमी की रात्रि को सिद्ध मुहूर्त्त में, भगवान श्रीकृष्ण का यथाशक्ति पंचोपचार पूजन करके, इस कवच के १०८, ५४, २७ पाठ कीजिये फिर सुबह को भगवान श्रीकृष्ण के नाम मन्त्र (श्रीकृष्णाय स्वाहा) से १०८ आहुति देकर हवन कर लें। अद्भुत लाभ होगा।
