English translation
The Giving of Sri Kp^ija kavaca to Narada said - O lord, which one of the mantra, stotra and kavaca was given by the lord to Parasurama, who is prime god of the kavaca, what reward does that kavaca bestow on the devotee and what is the result of the kavaca you kindly let me know?"
Narayana said - Lord Krsna who is complete in himself and is the lord of the Goloka besides the cowherds and cowherdesses, himself happens to be the prime god of the kavaca.
The extremely astonishing kavaca named Trailokyavijaya emerged with the combination of fortune and bestows great merit on one who recites it. Its mantra is kalpataru which fulfils all the desires. He gave it to Parasurama in the forest of Pdrijata of Devaloka near the Madhavasrama located on the bank of Svayamprabha river.
JTT dd TllijgjTST^I Siva said - O son, O virtuous one bom in the race of Bhrgu, you come here and receive this kavaca, you will be dearer and more loveable to me than my own son, O Parasurama, I am imparting to you the knowledge of the kavaca and Trailokyavijaya of Sri Krsna which is an astonishing one and provides victory in the universe. You listen to it. In the earlier times lord imparted the knowledge of the same to me in Goloka in the Rasamandala of Radhikasrama, located in the Vmdavana forest. This is the essence of all the mantras and is quite meritorious. I am speaking it out to you because of my love for you.
By bearing it by a person or by reciting it, the Mulaprakrti of the lord killed the demons like Sumbha, Nisumbha, Mahisasura and Raktablja.
Possessing its knowledge I become aware of all the Tattavas and destroyed the entire universe. I had killed the terrific demon Tripurasura in no By holding it and reciting it Brahma created the best of the universe and by holding and reciting it, Sesa bears the load of the entire By hearing it the tortoise playfully carries the load of Sesa. By bearing it, the wind-god pervades it in the universe.
By bearing it, Varuna became the siddhas, Kubera became the lord of riches and by holding and reciting it, Indra became the lord of god.
By holding it Surya gained the lustre illumining the universe. By holding it, the moon became valorous and strong.
By holding it Agastya drank the water of the seven oceans. By its glory, he also consumed the demon named VatapT and destroyed him.
By holding and reciting it, the goddess earth became the base of everything. By holding and reciting it Gahga was purified and she became the purifier of the universe.
By holding it dharma became adorable by all the religious people and became the witness of the universe. By holding it, Sarasvati became the bestower of gems and riches and became the better of the best. By bearing and reciting it, Savitri created the Vedas which became the speakers for dharma. By bearing and reciting it, the fire-god became purified and glorious and by bearing it Sanatkumara became the best of the Therefore the knowledge of the same is imparted alone to the noble people and the devotees of lord Krsna. Because by parting its knowledge to the wicked people one has to face death. Prajapati happens to be the Rsi of the kavaca named Trailokyavijaya and lord Krsna happens to be its god. One has to take a resolve for getting victorious in the three worlds. This kavaca is beyond everything and is inaccessible in the three worlds. 3Tf this mantra should protect my head and the five letter mantra

The immensely valorous MSdhava and Baliharl should always protect me. Nrsiihha should protect me in the water, on land and in the He should protect me always whether sleeping ^ or awake Vibhu the soul of everyone who is I unattached should protect me from all sides.
O son, thus I have imparted to you the knowledge of the kavaca named Trailokyavijaya which happens to be the essence of all the mantras and is quite an astonishing one.
I heard this from the mouth of Sri Krsna himself. Therefore, you do not part with the knowledge of this to anyone, by adoring the teacher, whosoever bears this kavaca around the neck or around the arm, he is turned like Visnu.
There is no doubt about it. Whenever such a devotee recites, Laksmi and Sarasvatl also reside there. In case one achieves success with this kavaca then he is relieved of the cycle of birth and death and he earns the merit of performing puja for crores of years.
I The merit one earns by performing a thousand Rdjasiiya, a hundred Vdjapeya, ten thousand performing all the great charities, going round the entire universe, do not compare one sixteenth times of the merit of Trailokyavijaya.
Even the vratas, fasting, austerities, studies, self-studies, performing of tapas and bathing at the sacred places, do not compare even with the smallest ray of the same.
Whosoever meets with success with this kavaca, achieves the position of siddhas everlasting slavehood of lord Hari and all other pleasures of life.
The one who recites the same ten lakhs of times, he meets success with this kavaca, Whosoever adores the lord without being fully aware of the kavaca, such a foolish fellow cannot meet with success even after adoring it for crores of kalpas, O son, by bearing this kavaca, you fearlessly move on earth and rid the earth of the Ksatriyas twenty one times enjoying all the pleasures of
