unprotected by this armor. Wherever he goes, 
there he will achieve his goals, victorious at all times.

इदं रहस्यं विप्रर्षॆ भक्त्या तव मयोदितम् | 
पादमॆकं न गच्छॆत् तु यदीच्छॆच्छुभमात्मनः || 46 ||

I have revealed this secret on account of your devotion.
If one wishes his own well-being, he should not take a single step

(cont. in next verse)



With Every Tide

With every tide
the ocean brings
small gifts,
not satisfied
to have given us
the gift
of life.

Con cada crecida
el océano trae
pequeños regalos,
no satisfecho
habernos dado
el regalo
de la vida.



dEvIkavacham 45

तत्सर्वं रक्ष मॆ दॆवि जयन्ती पापनाशिनी | 
सर्वरक्षआकरं पुण्यं कवचं सर्वदा जपॆत् || 45 ||

sarvarakShaAkaraM puNyaM kavachaM sarvadA japEt || 45 ||

protect all that for me, O dEvi, conquering destroyer of all evil.
One should at all times chant this meritorious armor that makes all safe. 



dEvIkavacham 44

राजद्वारॆ महालक्ष्मीर्विजया सतत स्थिता | 
रक्षाहीनं तु यत् स्थानं वर्जितं कवचॆन तु || 44 ||

rakShAhInaM tu yat sthAnaM varjitaM kavachEna tu || 44 ||

May mahAlakShmI and vijayA be always established at my entry door,
and whatever is left out of the protections of this armor,
