( My Child! This Sacred Mantra Kavacha is indeed unique and its impact is everlasting; the Ten worded Mantra viz. Gopijana Valaabhaaya Swaaha is the bestower of Bhakti and Mukti. The Rishi of this Mantra is Parama Shiva himself; its chhanda or prosody is ‘Pankti’; its Devata is Krishna; its Viniyoga or applicability is Universal; the Trailokya Vijaya Mantra Kavacha’s Rishi is Prajapati; Chhandas is Jagati; the letters are twelve; the Devata is Rajeswara : this is the Introductory ‘Nyaasa’. Now the text of the Mantra is as follows: Om Krishnaaya namah: may Shiva protect me; Krishnaaya swaaha Mama Taarakaam Harye namah; Hey Krishna paatumey Netrey Krishnaaya swaahaa/ Mama taarakam paatu; Haraye namah Bhrulaatam paatu; Govindaya swaha Mama Naasikaam satatam paatu; Gopaalaaya namah mama gandam (Chin) paatu; Kleem Krishnaaya namah mama karney Kalpataruh paatu; Om Krishnaaya namah Adhara yugmam paatu (Lips); Om Gopeeshaaya! Do protect my teeth; Krishnaaya swaahaa-Jihvam (tongue) paatu; Radhi- kesshaaya! Do safeguard my throat ; Gopi ganeshaaya save my neck; Kishora Veshaaya, guard my shoulders; Mukunda watch my back; Hreem, Shreem, Kleem Krishnaaya safeguard my Udara (belly); and Vishnavey namah please my hands! Bhagavatey! Save my nail-lines; Namo Narayana, do protect my nail-holes; Padmanabha please secure my naabhi (navel); Sarvesa, my hairs and Krishna help my ‘Brahmarandhra’ to be safe; Madhava do take care of my forehead; Rasika! Save my kati (waist); Gopijanesha, protect my thighs; Daityanaasha my knees! Yashoda Nanda, my jangha (calf)! Rasaarambha my Avatu (sense of shame); Vrinda! My Sakalaangaas! The Kavacha then requests Krishna to protect my Praachya or East; Golokanaatha my Agneya ( South East); Brahma Swarupa the Dakshina (South), Krishna my Nairutyaam (South West); Hari! My Paschima ( West); Govinda! My Vayavya (North West); Rasikeshwara! My Uttara (North); Brindavana Vihara! Do protect my Urthwa Deshas; Bali Dhwamsi! Safeguard my from Adholokaas (Nether Lokas); Nrisimha save me from Jala, Sthala and Antariksha; and Madhava! Kindly save me while I am in Jaagriti (awake) or in Swapna(dreams). Vasishta Muni assured that sincere recitation of the Kavacha would definitely bestow Puja Phala, Yagna Phala, Daana Phala, Bhu Pradakshina Phala, Sarva Tirtha Phala, Karya Sadhana Phala, Vijaya Phala, Siddhatva and Amaratwa!
