Miscellaneous Notes
This is a kavaca (armour) and serves as a protection. Here the 'srīvidyāmantra is invoked and prayed to protect various limbs of the person who chants it. The text seems to be rare. Tough it is said in colophon that it forms part of rudrayāmala, it is not found in the printed text. In the margin of fol. 3b, it is written as jagaccintāmaṇikavaca
