ନାଗ କଵଚମ୍ (ସର୍ପ ଭଯ ଔର କାଲସର୍ପ ଦୋଷ ନାଶକ)

An armour in which every guard is a named serpent, which makes it a roll-call of the nagas as much as a protection. Ananta takes the head and Sankarshana the throat; Karkotaka the two eyes, Kapila the ears, Nagayaksha the chest, Kalabhujangama the arms, Dhritarashtra the belly, Vajranaga the back; Ashvasena the vital points and Ashvatara the feet. Then it starts again on the compass and posts a different set: Vasuki in the east, Dhananjaya in the south-east, Takshaka in the south, Shankhapala in the south-west, Mahapadma in the west, Shankhanilaka in the north-west, Kambala in the north, Nagabhairava in the north-east, and Airavata above. Its seer is Mahadeva, and the seed it names is the tara.
