Then Vishwaroop explained to Indra the specialities of this shield.
He said whoever wears this, can foresee the coming incidents and also keep watch on the activities of rivals and likewise prepare in anticipation. This KAVACH not only protects you in this life, but even after your death this protection is carried on.
To stress this point he narrated an incident relating to a dead Caracas of a Brahmin. Once, a Brahmin had acquired this KAVACH through tapasya. He left his body and left for heavenly abode.The body lay in a deep desert.
Once Gandharva Chitrarath was travelling in his Vimaan along with his wives. His Vimaan happened to cross the dead Caracas. Immediately Chitrarath fell down. Later,Muni Valkhilya explained to him about his crossing of the dead body.
As there was the powerful shield of Narayan kavach which protected the dead Brahmin, Chitrarath had fainted that time.

This KAVACH is a guarantee of lifetime protection both for mankind and devtas.
