I am protected by Goddess Girija who is eternal. She is Abhayamba that eradicates all fears. She is the consort of Siva the lord of Kailasa.

She enables us know the time of leaving our mortal body by chanting Beeja and Nirbeeja Mantras. She bestows ability to practice precepts of Yoga, to collect paraphernalia for austerities and strength to adhere to code of conduct. She enables pious devotees shed their egoism and to treat righteousness and worldly desires with equanimity. She inculcates charitable nature. I am protected by Abhayambika's saffron feet which are a kingdom for me.
