Transliteration

jīmū́tasyeva bhavati pratī́kaṃ yád varmī́ yā́ti samádām upásthe | anā́viddhayā tanvā̀ jaya tváṃ sá tvā vármaṇo mahimā́ pipartu ||

Translation

మేఘ ముఖంలా ప్రతీకం కనిపించునట్లు, కవచధారి యోధుడు సమరపు ఒడిలో ప్రవేశించునప్పుడు అతని రూపం అట్లే ఉంటుంది. అవిద్ధ (చీలనిది) దేహంతో నీవు జయించు; కవచ మహిమ నిన్ను నింపి, నిన్ను సంపూర్ణుడిని చేయుగాక.
