ليحمِني ربُّ العوالم الواحد حين أقف؛ وليحرسني سيّدُ البراماثا حين أمشي. وليصُنْني مَن يُعرَف بالڤيدانتا حين أجلس؛ وليحمِني شيفا الذي لا يفنى حين أضطجع.
Unknown (Śiva-kavaca voice)
Scene: Four posture vignette: devotee standing in temple courtyard, walking on a pilgrimage path, seated in meditation, lying in restful sleep—Śiva’s presence above each as a subtle icon (liṅga/haloed form).
