TRANSLATION

1) Śrī Nārada said: O master of Indra and the demigods, O master of the universe, O dear father, please tell me the kavaca of Lord Viṣṇu-Nṛsiḿha. By reciting that kavaca a wise man conquers the three worlds.

2) Śrī Brahmā said: O Nārada wealthy in austerity, O best of my sons, please listen and I will tell you the Nṛsiḿha-kavaca called Trailokya-vijaya (the conquest of the three worlds).

3) By reciting this prayer one becomes eloquent. One becomes a conqueror of the three worlds. My son, I became the creator of this universe because I recited this kavaca and wore it in an amulet.

4) By reciting this prayer and wearing it in an amulet Goddess Lakṣmī became the protector of the three worlds, Lord Śiva became the destroyer, and the demigods became the masters of the directions.

5) Now I will speak this kavaca, which contains within it all the mantras of the Vedas. By the mercy of this kavaca Durvāsā Muni conquered the three worlds. By reciting this prayer and wearing it in an amulet he became able to punish others, he became feared for his anger.

6) The sage of this kavaca is Prajāpati Brahmā. The meter is Gāyatrī. The Deity is Lord Nṛsiḿha, the all-powerful Personality of Godhead.

7-8B) Kṣraum. May this great mantra, its syllables glittering like a string of moons, protect my head. I bow down before all-powerful, frightening, auspicious, sublimely ferocious Lord Nṛsiḿha, who is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Viṣṇu, who burns like fire, whose faces are everywhere, and who is the death of death. This thirty-two syllable prayer is the king of mantras, the sura-druma tree of mantras.

9) May the word "kṣraum" protect my neck. May the word "bhagavate" (to the Supreme Personality of Godhead) protect my heart. May the word "narasiḿhāya" (to Lord Nṛsiḿha) protect my eyes. May the word "jvālā-māline" (who wears a garland of flames) protect my head.

10) May the words "dīpta-daḿṣṭrāya" (whose teeth glisten), "agni-netrāya" (whose eyes are fires), “sarva-rakṣo-ghnāya" (the killer of all rākṣasas), and “sarva-bhūta-vināśanāya" (the killer of all ghosts) protect my nose.

11) May the words "sarva-jvara-vināśāya" (the protector from all fevers), "daha daha" (burn!burn!) "paca paca" (burn! burn!) "rakṣa rakṣa" (protect! protect!) "svāhā" and the entire mantra protect my face.*

12) Oḿ Namo Rāmacandrāya (Obeisances to Lord Rāmacandra). May Lord Rāmacandra protect my private parts. May Lord Rāmacandra protect my hands. Oḿ Namo Nārāyaṇāya. (Obeisances to Lord Nārāyaṇa). May Lord Nārāyaṇa protect my feet. May Lord Nārāyaṇa protect my sides. Aḿ hrīḿ krauḿ kṣrauḿ ca huḿ phaṭ.

13) Oḿ Namo Bhagavate (Obeisances to the Supreme Personality of Godhead). May Lord Bhagavān protect my feet. May Lord Bhagavān protect my waist and hips. Om Namo Vāsudevāya (Obeisances to Lord Vāsudeva). May Lord Vāsudeva protect my back. Klīḿ Kṛṣṇāya (Obeisances to Lord Kṛṣṇa). May Lord Kṛṣṇa protect my thighs.

14) Klīḿ Kṛṣṇāya (Obeisances to Lord Kṛṣṇa). May Lord Kṛṣṇa always protect my knees. This is the best of mantras. Klīḿ Glauḿ Klīḿ Śyāmalāńgāya Namaḥ (Obeisances to darklimbed Lord Kṛṣṇa). May Lord Kṛṣṇa protect my feet.

15) Kṣrauḿ Narasiḿhāya Kṣrauḿ. (Obeisances to Lord Nṛsiḿha). May Lord Nṛsiḿha always protect all the limbs and parts of my body.

16) My child, I have thus spoken to you the personification of all mantras. Out of affection I told it to you, but it should not be repeated to anyone.

17) After worshiping his spiritual master, one should accept this kavaca. Then one attains all piety. Then one attains all perfection.

18) Performing puraścaryā and yajñas a hundred and eight times is equal to one tenth the merit attained by chanting this kavaca.

19) One who properly chants this kavaca becomes saintly. Forgetting their natural rivalry, Lakṣmī and Sarasvatī both reside in his home.

20) Offering eight palmsful of flowers and only once chanting this mūla-mantra, one attains the result of a thousand years of worship.

21) If one writes this mantra on birch and wears in in an amulet around one's neck or on one's right arm, then Lord Nṛsiḿha will personally accompany him.

22) A woman should wear this amulet on her left arm. A man should wear it on his right hand. Whoever wears this sacred amulet attains all perfections.

23) By wearing this amulet a woman who is barren, who has only one child, whose children have died, or whose children are lost will become of the mother of many good children.

24) By the mercy of this kavaca one becomes liberated even while living in this world. One shakes the three worlds. One conquers the three worlds.

25) The moment they see him, bhūtas, pretas, piśācas, rākṣasās, and dānavās flee far away. They run to another country.

26) These evil spirits flee far away from any home or village where this kavaca is placed.

REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:

The mantra referred to in Verse 11 is:

kṣrauḿ bhagavate narasiḿhāya jvālā-māline dīpta-daḿṣṭrāya agni-netrāya sarva-rakṣoghnāya

sarva-bhūta-vināśanāya sarva-jvara-vināśāya daha daha paca paca rakṣa rakṣa svāhā"

"I bow down before Lord Nṛsiḿha, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who wears a garland of flames, whose teeth glisten, whose eyes are fires, who is the killer of all rākṣasas and ghosts, and who is the protector from all fevers. O Lord Nṛsiḿha, please burn my enemies! Burn them! Burn them! Burn Them! Protect me! Protect me! Svāhā."
