শ্রী বগলা প্রত্যঙ্গিরা কবচম্

An armour from the Rudrayamala that joins two goddesses whose work overlaps, Bagala and Pratyangira, in a dialogue of Shiva and Parvati. Its viniyoga names Narada as the seer and gives hlim, hum and hrim for seed, power and pin, with the purpose stated as the destruction of enemies. What is unusual is the section of eight powers set inside it, each with a mantra that is an imperative addressed to a named goddess: Bhramini, make my enemies whirl; Stambhini, hold them still; Kshobhini, throw them into confusion; Mohini, bewilder them — and so through the eight. The armour proper is short, and the eight are the substance of the text.
