अथापरं सर्वपुराणगुह्यं निःशेषपापौघहरं पवित्रम् । जयप्रदं सर्वविपद्विमोचनं वक्ष्यामि शैवं कवचं हिताय ते
athāparaṃ sarvapurāṇaguhyaṃ niḥśeṣapāpaughaharaṃ pavitram | jayapradaṃ sarvavipadvimocanaṃ vakṣyāmi śaivaṃ kavacaṃ hitāya te
Ngayon pa, ituturo ko sa iyo ang Śaiva kavaca—ang lihim ng lahat ng Purāṇa: dalisay, pumapawi sa buong baha ng mga kasalanan, nagbibigay ng tagumpay, at nagpapalaya sa bawat kapahamakan—para sa iyong ikabubuti.

Scene: A sage about to transmit a secret Śaiva kavaca; luminous script or mantra-letters forming an ‘armor’ around a devotee; Śiva’s presence implied as protective aura.
Devotional protection is not mere fear-avoidance; the kavaca is presented as a purifying discipline that uproots sin and stabilizes victory through Śiva-centered remembrance.
No specific tīrtha is mentioned; the focus is on a universal protective recitation (kavaca).
The prescription is to learn/recite the Śaiva kavaca described as purifying, victory-giving, and calamity-removing.
