• HeKaumodaki gada!Aapa shatruon ke hridaya ko choorna kara deejiye.

• HePaanychajanya shankha!Aapa apni bhayankara aavaaja se shatruon ke hridaya ko kanpa deejiye.

Mahatva aur phalashruti:Jo manushya is kavach ka dharan yaa path karta hai, use raaja, daakoo, dushta grah yaa jangali jaanavaron ka bhay nahin rahata. Eka baara chitraratha gandharva is kavach ko dharan karne vaale eka braahmana ki asthiyon ke oopara se vimaana lekara nikala, to usaka vimaana neeche gira gaya. Baada mein asthiyon ko visarjita karne par hi vaha jaa saka. Is vidya se indra ne triloki ka aishvarya praapta kiya.

Naaraayana Kavach ka Mahatva aur Vidhi (end Notes)

1. Mahatva:Naaraayana kavach kevala eka stotra nahin, balki ekaTaantrika raksha kavachHai. Isamen 'nyaasa' (shareera ke angon mein mantron ki shakti sthaapita karna) ka bahuta mahatva hai. Yaha vyakti ke chaaron ora eka suraksha ghera (aur) bana deta hai jise koi nakaaraatmaka shakti bheda nahin sakati.

2. Path ki vidhi:

• Shuddhata:Ise snaana ke baada svachchha peele vastra pahanakara hi karna chahiye.

• Sankalpa:Yadi kisi vishesha baadha (jaise shatru kashta yaa ganbheera roga) ke lie kara rahe hain, to sankalpa lekara karen.

• Ekaagrata:Path karate samay yaha bhaava rakhen ki bhagavaana ki shaktiyaan sachamucha aapke angon ki raksha kara rahi hain.

• Niyam:Geeta presa ke anusaara, iska path karne se pahale 'kara-nyaasa' aur 'angga-nyaasa' karna anivaarya hai, tabhi yaha siddha hota hai.

3. Labh:

• Isake path seAkaala mrityuTalati hai.

• Ghar meinNakaaraatmaka oorjaAur vastu dosh ka naasha hota hai.

• Maanasika chinta, dipreshana aur ajnyaata bhay se mukti milati hai.
