東方に鎮まるタトプルシャよ。四面三眼にして、燃える稲妻と黄金のごとく輝き、知慧・授与・無畏・斧の印を執る御方よ。常に我を守り給え。
Anonymous Purāṇic narrator (dik-bandhana/face-based kavaca)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Tatpuruṣa stationed in the East, four-faced and three-eyed, blazing like lightning and molten gold, holding symbols of knowledge, boon, fearlessness, and an axe; dawn-light behind.
Śiva guards the devotee from every quarter; invoking His sacred face-forms establishes spiritual protection.
No tīrtha is named; the verse is a directional (east) protective invocation within a kavaca.
Dik-rakṣā (directional protection) by invoking Tatpuruṣa in the east as part of the Śaiva kavaca.
