Description and curator notes
Bhairavī asks to hear a protective formula after learning Kālī worship, and Bhairava introduces the Jaganmaṅgala kavaca. The opening invokes examples of divine achievement before a sequence of mantric protection. Its multiple titles are important for catalogue identification: Kālikā Kavaca, Jaganmaṅgala Kavaca, and Śyāmā Kavaca refer here to one work. It is distinct from the Bhadrakālī Jaganmaṅgala text and from the Kalikulasarvasva kavaca.
