ஶ்ரீ ரேணுகா கவசம்

An armour whose premise is stated in its opening exchange and is unlike any other in this corpus: Parvati asks what is to be done by those who are not capable, and what rite the incapable are to perform. Shankara answers that without recitation, without gift and without fire-offering, the attainment of Renuka's mantra follows from reading this armour daily. So the text is written for people who cannot do the practice. What follows guards twice over. First the regents of space are posted, Indra in the east and Agni in the south-east down to Brahma above and Ananta below; then the Mothers take the body itself, Brahmani at the head, Maheshvari at the eyes, Vaishnavi at the nose, Mahalakshmi at the throat, Bagala at the arms, Charchika at the navel, and Vasundhara at the feet.
