TRANSLATION
May the Supreme Personality of Godhead’s holy names, His

transcendental forms, His carriers and all the weapons decorating
Him as personal associates protect our intelligence, senses, mind
and life air from all dangers.

PURPORT

There are various associates of the transcendental Personality of God-
head, and His weapons and carrier are among them. In the spiritual
world, nothing is material. The sword, bow, club, disc and everything
decorating the personal body of the Lord are spiritual living force.
Therefore the Lord is called advaya-jrdna, indicating that there is no
difference between Him and His names, forms, qualities, weapons and so
on. Anything pertaining to Him is in the same category of spiritual exis-
tence. They are all engaged in the service of the Lord in varieties of
spiritual forms.
