|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||
Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “ Oh!
Munishardhoola/lion among the Rishis, listen to me carefully, the auspicious
armor of Lord Surya is highly propitious, it could provide good health and
welfare to worshiper, Lord surya who has supreme effulgence, he is decked in
magnificent crown and sparkling earrings, he releases thousands of brilliant
rays, hence he is deserved to be eulogized, I shall earnestly pray to Bhaskara
to protect my head, I shall earnestly pray to
Lord Surya who has extreme radiance/Amithadhyuthi to protect my
forehead, I shall earnestly pray to Lord Surya who is Dhinamani/precious jewel
that arises on daily basis to protect my eyes, I shall earnestly pray to Lord
Surya who is Vasareshvara/Lord of Time
to protect my ears, I shall earnestly pray to
Gharmaghrini to protect my senses/nose,
I shall earnestly pray to Vedhavahana who is the essence of sacred Veda to
protect my face, I shall earnestly pray to Manadha who is the provider honor
and destroyer of excessive pride in worshiper to protect my tongue, I shall
earnestly pray to Suravandhitha who is worshiped by Suras to protect my throat,
I shall earnestly pray to Prabhakara who is the source of light in the Universe
to protect my back of shoulders, I shall earnestly pray to Janapriya who is
beloved of living beings to protect my chest, I shall earnestly pray to
Dhvadhashathman who has twelve marvelous

Bhurjapathram/leaves of Bhurja, would attain all kinds of supernatural powers,
whoever reads or listen to it with utmost devotion and dedication after
ablutions would be relieved from all
