The name of the vidyā is given: sarva-rakṣā-karī, «all-protecting». The subject has changed here: until now the mantras were derived and broken down, and now for the first time it is said for what one of them serves — for protection. Protective mantras exist in Vaishnava practice too, and are called kavaca, «armor». The most famous of them is the «Narasiṃha-kavaca»; and the Bhāgavatam devotes a whole chapter (6.8) to how Viśvarūpa gives Indra the Nārāyaṇa-kavaca before battle.
Of this category of mantras one must speak plainly and without disdain. To ask for protection is neither shameful nor base: everyone asks, and in the hardest moments even those who ordinarily ask for nothing do ask. The only question is of whom one asks, and what is promised in return.
Hence the kavaca is not rejected, but only distinguished from a spell. The difference is simple: in an armor-mantra a person hides behind someone; in a spell he takes power for himself and disposes of it. The first is an acknowledgment of one's weakness, the second a claim to power; and it is by this mark that they are distinguished, not by length or number of syllables.
