7 ( This ‘Samsaara Mohana Kavacha’s Prajapati is Rishi, Brihati is the
Chhanda, Swayam Lambodara Ganesha is Devata; Dharma, Artha, Kaama and
Moksha is the ‘Viniyoga’; this entire Kavacha is of great essence: Let the
Mantra Om gam hum Shri Ganeshaaya swaaha safeguard my head; the
Dwadashokshara Mantra save my forehead; let Om Hreem Kleem Shreem Gam
protect my netras / eyes; may Vighnesha protect my ear lobes; let the
Mantra Om Hreem Shreem Kleem protect my nose; let the Mantra Goum Gam
Shurpaanyaya Swaha guard my lips and tongue; let the Mantra Om Lam Shreem
Lambodaraaya Swaaha secure my cheeks; may the Mantra Om Kleem Hreem Vighna
naashaaya swaaha keep my ears safe; let Om Shreem Gam Gajaananaaya swaahaa
secure my shoulders; may the Mantra Om Hreem Vinaayakaaya swaaha guard the
rear part of my body; let Om Kleem Hreem protect my ‘kamkaal’/ skeleton and
the Mantra Gam save my chest. Let Vighna-nihanta provide safety to my
hands, feet and the entire body! May Lambodara save my Eastern side,
Vighnanayaka the Agneya side, Vighnesha the Southern side, Gajaanana the
Nirruti side, Parvati putra the West, Shankaraatmaja the Vaayavya side,
Shri Krishna the North, Ekadanta the Ishaana kona, Heramba the Urthwa bhaga
/ skyward, and Ganaadhipa the ‘Adhobhaga’ the underground. May the ‘Yogi
Guru’ protect me while asleep or awake. This is how I explained the whole
‘Samsara Mohana naama Kavacha’to you Suryanandana Shaneswara.
This Kavacha was bestowed to me when I attended the ‘raasa leela’
convention at Goloka and this should be divulged to one and all. If a
person wears the Kavacha after Guru Puja, it shall indeed safeguard him or
her and bestow the boons of performing thousand Ashwamedha Yagnas and
thousand Vaajapeya Yagnaas. The Siddhi of this Kavacha is attainable after
hundred lakh japas of it.) [Essence of Brahma Vaivarta Purana]

(Mother Parvati! your son has eight names viz. Ganesha, Ekadanta,
Heramba, Vighnanayaka, Lambodara, Shurpakarna, Gajavaktra, and Guhaagraja.
Please listen to the meanings of these names; this Great Stotra is the
essence of several Stotras and is the demolisher of all kinds of obstacles.
In the word Ganesha, the letter ‘Ga’ is ‘Jnaanaartha vaachaka’ and ‘na’ is
‘nirvaana vaachaka’; the letters ‘Ga’, ‘na’ and ‘Isha’ together denote the
‘Isha’ or the Supreme of ‘Ganas’; thus one should say: I greet Ganesha. In
the word Eka dantha, Eka is pradhaanaarthak and Danta is Bala vaachaka;
thus it is said: I salute Eka danta. In the word Heramba, ‘Hey’is
Deenaartha vaachaka and ‘ramba’ is paalana vaachaka and the total meaning
would be the Administrator of Deenaas or the Needy who seek asylum. In the
word ‘Vighna naayaka’, Vighna is vipatti vachaka and naayaka is
khandanaarthak vachaka, meaning thereby Ganesha is the demolisher of
hindrances. Lamba + Udara or Ganesha has an Extended Tummy as he is fond of
consuming large quantities of Savouries and sweets; I adore ‘Lambodara’! My
salutations to you, ‘Surpakarna’! with surpaakara/Vikrita/ strained + Karna
or ears. ‘Gajavaktra’ or Elephant faced Deva, my prostrations to you!
‘Guhaagraja’ or the elder brother of Guha Deva / Skanda; I pay my
reverences to you! Devi Parvati! Kindly listen to the Sacred Eight Names of
Ganesha and bear with me before getting angry, if need be. Those who recite
these names during the three Sandhya timings with sincerity and devotion
would always be happy and victorious, from whom any kind of obstacles run
away like snakes approaching Garuda. By the great grace of Ganeswara, those
who have no children would be blessed with children, those who have no
wives would have them too and those who have the least intelligence would
flourish as Vidwans and Poets. [Essence of Brahma Vaivarta Purana]

(To this Samsaara paavana Shiva Kavacha has Prajapati as Rishi, Gayatri
Chhanda and Maheswara as Devataa. Its Viniyoga or usage is to secure
Dharma, Artha, Kaama and Moksha: Om asyashri Samsaara paavana naamadheyasya
Shiva Kavachasya Prajaapatirrishi Gayatri cchando Maheswaro Devataa
Dharaartha Kaama moksha siddhow Viniyogah. The effectiveness of the Kavacha
is subject to its recitation by five lakhs and its Siddhi bestows great
body-glow, Siddhi yoga and ‘Bala Parakrama’ or Strength and Gallantry
equalling none on Earth. The meaning of the Kavacha states: May Shambhu
protect my head and Maheswara my face. May Nilakantha shield my teeth and
Hara Deva my lips; Chandrachuda my throat and Vrishabha vaahana my
shoulders; Nilakantha my chest and Digambara my rear portion; may Vishvesha
shield all my limbs from all directions; may Shtaanu Deva defend me always
while I sleep or am woken up. Maha Deva told Baanaasura that this
Invaluable Kavacha ought not to be taught to every body without discretion
and in fact try to keep it confidential. Those who wear this Kavacha yield
the fruits of Titha Yatras instantly. Even a dull person would become agile
and active. The following Kalpa Vriksha Mantra Raja was handed over to
posterity as follows:

(I salute Bhagavan Shiva, Mahadeva, Suresha and Neela lohita! who is the
quintessence of all ‘Tatwaas’; the Chief of all Devatas; the embodiment of
Yoga as its germinator and its Master; the personification of ‘Jnaana’as
Jnaana Swarupa, Jnaana beeja, and Jnaana Pradaata; the Supreme Being of
Tapasya, its root, ramifications and phala / the end result; the Fund of
Prosperity, Boons and Benefits to Siddhaganas; the Desire, Sadhana /
Facility and Destination of Moksha; the highest Form of Brahma Jyoti; the
manifestations of Primary Elements like Prithvi, Water , Radiance, Air, and
Sky as also the Sun and the Moon; the highest image of Bhakti and its
applications; the Magnificent Form unaffected by Desha, Kaala and Vastu ie.
Place, Time and Material; that Parameswara beyond recognition of thought,
speech and action; and the Digambara Rupa, the Bull-rider, Trishula Dhaari
and Chandra Shekhara. That’s how Baanasura saluted Bhagavan Shiva by
reciting the above ‘Stavaraja’or the Hymn of Eulogy and bending his head
down the reverential feet of Shankara with humility and dedication. And so
did Maha Muni Durwasa too.) Those who recite the above ‘Stotra Raja’even
for a month with devotion and sincerity every morning would be cured of
long standing diseases, imprisonments, childlessness, poverty, and any kind
of difficulty in life by the mere lifting of Bhagavan’s Trishula! [Essence
of Brahma Vaivarta Purana] KR IRS 6822
