This Kavacha apart from giving the Armour also gives the apamarjana manthra for doing the meditation.)
They will not have enemies nor would they su#er skin diseases,
Or a#ected by planets nor other diseases and would not do sins.

For the chant of Apamarjana the sage is Pulasthya
The meter is anushtup,
The gods addressed are Varaha, Narasimha , Vamana , Vishnu and Sudarshana
The seed is “take away problems from me”
The power is Achuthananda Govinda
The armour is the touch of nails by Vajrayudha
For getting the blessings of Varaha, Narasimha , Vamana , Vishnu and Sudarshana, the prayer is being chanted
(once you tie yourself , you are supposed to complete the chanting and then only rise from your seat.)
17.Jalougha dhamna sa charachara dharaa vishaana kotaya akhila (/en/Akhila) viswa roopina,
SAmuddhruthaa yena Varaha roopinaa sa may swayambhur bhagwan praseedathu.
19.I meditate on Narasimha who has crescent shaped teeth , shining large lips,
Toungue which reminds of lightning, who has a voice similar to roaring ,
Who has open eyes showing great anger , who was shining with hair,
Which looked like burning "re which frightened even the troops,
Who was anointed by the blood and beat away the problems and saved his devotee.
After saluting the blemish less , pure , God who is deep in meditation,
I would teach you , so that what I teach would give you the e#ect that I tell.
Salutations to boar , man lion, the dwarf Vamana all of whom are great souls,
Salutations to the God Varaha, God Nrusimha , God Vamana and Trivikrama.
32.Mruthyu bandharthi bhaya (/en/Bhaya) dhama (/en/Dhama) arishtasya cha yath phalam,
Paramadhwana sahitham prayuktham chaa abhicharikam.
Bad death , imprisonment , fear , utter poverty and other such things,
Which were done as a result of black magic may please be removed
“Om Vasudevaya nama “ as well as salutaions to Krishna (/en/Krishna) who holds the Saranga bow,
Would cure problems due to poison , leprosy completely.
Salutations to the divine Lion whose talons are like the Vajrayudha,
Who was born to Kasyapa and Athithi and was the personi"cation of Rik, Yajur and Sama Vedas (/en/Vedas).
Kill ,kill Oh great toothed one Varaha, kill , kill the evil black magic,
Oh terrifying Narasimha who shines with his teeth.
Please cure me of the fever that lasts for one day, two days,
Three days , four days , very high fever and fever that lasts forever.
I tell the truth and truth only , that all diseases would be destroyed,
By the repetition of the names of Achyutha , Anantha and Govinda.
I tell the truth, the truth and again the truth , That no books of knowledge and science are greater than Vedas (/en/Vedas),
And there is no God who is greater than Lord Kesava.
Let the tumors , bites of spiders and other poisons which are unbearable,
Be brought under control by singing the names of Lord Janardhana.
Let me be protected from planets , dead souls , the well behaved planets,
Ghouls, devils , Gandharwas , Yakshas and Rakshasas,
Let me protected from the ghosts like sakini and those planets
Under in$uence of magicians, and the gruesome cruel faces
By their complete destruction by chanting of God’s names.
Some houses would be occupied by old planets and some by child planets,
And the ferocious glance of Narasimha would burn them both alike.
The great sound (/en/Sound) made by the ferocious Narasimha with mane,
Would weaken all planets and also make them ine#ective.
For the sake of the good of all the people of the universe.
The great wheel Sudarshana which is the weapon of the hand of Govinda,
Which is very sharp and also cleansing has the brilliance of billions of Suns.
When you are performing this prayer always add “Om Nam”,
For the most holy divine prayer and ensure destruction of all diseases,
And by destroying such diseases avoid untimely death.
This stotra (/en/Stotra) should be recited with a pure and calm mind,
Sitting on a seat of Durba grass and would e#ectively remove,
All diseases, epilepsy, leprosy, and attack by devils , ghosts and Rakshasas.
All these ills do not dare to go near to the one who recites this prayer,
Meditating on Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana and Vishnu,
And this prayer would also ensure the removal of all sorrows.
Thus ends the prayer of cleansing which occurs in Vishnu Dharmothara Purana (/en/Purana)
In the discussion between Agasthya and dhalbhya.
