The Exposition of Hanumān’s Protective Kavaca
Māruti-kavaca
सभया भयनिर्मुक्ता भवंति स्वकृतानुगाः । यस्यानेककथाः पुण्याः श्रूयंते प्रतिकल्पके ॥ २७ ॥
sabhayā bhayanirmuktā bhavaṃti svakṛtānugāḥ | yasyānekakathāḥ puṇyāḥ śrūyaṃte pratikalpake || 27 ||
Những ai thuận theo quả báo do chính nghiệp mình tạo, sẽ được giải thoát khỏi sợ hãi, dù ở giữa hội chúng. Về Ngài, vô số thánh truyện thanh tịnh được truyền tụng và lắng nghe qua từng kiếp, hết kalpa này đến kalpa khác.
Narada (teaching within the Narada–Sanatkumara dialogue framework)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta (peace)
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It links fearlessness to dharmic karma: when one lives in alignment with one’s own rightly-performed actions, fear diminishes, and the person becomes steady even in public or challenging settings.
By praising “puṇya-kathā” heard in every kalpa, it supports the bhakti method of śravaṇa (devotional hearing): sacred narration purifies the mind and strengthens dharmic resolve, which naturally reduces fear.
It underscores the applied principle behind dharma-śāstra and itihāsa-purāṇa transmission—regular hearing/recitation (śravaṇa) of authoritative narratives as a disciplined practice that shapes conduct and karmic outcomes.
