Que Sadyojāta—aux quatre visages et aux trois yeux, d’un éclat immense, brillant comme le jasmin, la lune, la conque et le cristal, portant le Veda et le rosaire, marqué du don et de l’intrépidité—me protège à l’occident.
Anonymous Purāṇic narrator (pañcabrahma/directional kavaca)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Sadyojāta in the West: four-faced, three-eyed, immense splendor, white like jasmine, moon, conch, crystal; holding Veda and rosary; hands marked by boon and fearlessness; sunset glow behind white radiance.
Śiva’s auspicious face-form grants boons and fearlessness, guarding the devotee from the western quarter.
No tīrtha is praised; the emphasis is on kavaca-based directional protection.
Invoking Sadyojāta for protection in the west as part of the Śaiva kavaca recitation.
