A हे ब्राह्मण! समस्त प्राणियों के कल्याण के लिए एक अत्यंत गोपनीय साधन है। वह देवी का पवित्र ‘कवच’ है, जो बहुत पुण्य प्रदान करने वाला है। हे महामुने ! तुम उसे उसे ध्यानपूर्वक सुनो।

O Brahmin, there is an extremely secret means for the welfare of all living beings. That is the sacred Kavach’ (armour) of the Goddess, which bestows great merit. O Great Sage! Listen to it with deep concentration.
