Verse 20

²⁰They bathed the little one with cow's water, and then with the dust the cows raised, and made a guard with cow dung, in twelve places on his body, with the names. ²¹The cowherd women touched water, set the seed syllables separately on their own limbs and on their two hands, and then did that setting on the child. ²²Let the Unborn guard your feet, the jewel-bearer your knees, and the sacrifice your thighs; the Unfallen your hips and the horse-faced one your belly; Kesava your heart and the Lord your chest; the sun your throat, Visnu your arm, the wide-strider your face, and the Lord your head. ²³Let the disc-bearer be in front of you and Hari with his mace behind; at your two sides, with bow and sword, the slayer of Madhu and the Unborn; at the corners with his conch, Urugaya; above you Upendra; on the ground Tarksya; and all around, the plough-bearer, the Person.

²⁴Let the lord of the senses guard your senses and Narayana your breaths; let the lord of the White Island guard your thought, and the lord of yoga your mind. ²⁵Let Prsnigarbha guard your understanding, and the Bhagavan, the highest, your self. Let Govinda guard you at your play, and Madhava as you sleep. ²⁶Let him whom nothing hinders guard you as you walk, and the lord of Sri as you sit; let the eater of the sacrifice, who is a terror to every seizer, guard you as you eat.
