I place my hands on my face and bow down to the siddhas whose divine vibrations may protect my face. (2) I bow down to the teachers and seek their blessings to protect my chest and body parts from the shoulders downwards. I bow down to the Upadhyays (preceptors) to make my arms solid like armour. (3) T bow down to all the saints in the universe and pray to them to bless my legs & feet. These are the five benedictions. Visi their protection, I sit or an unbreakable rock. (4) With this power, I create a vajra (castle) around me with my two hands which will protect me from allevil influences. (5) Visualizing that I am blessed by the supreme benedictions, I protect and cover the castle with a heavy lid to protect myself from evil influences. (6) This protection or armour is highly powerful and the destroyer of evil influences. This protection has originated from the five divinites and is related by the great saints from the past. (7) Whoever recites this with purity, is eternally protected from all evils (8)
