The meaning of the shlokas of Narayan Kavach are as follows:

• King Parikshit asked, O Lord, please recite the Narayan Kavach with which Devraj Indra, being safe, easily won over the four-fold army of enemies in a game and enjoyed the royal wealth of Triloki. Also tell me how he won over the attacking enemies in the battlefield being safe. Shree Narayan Kavach
• Shri Shukdev Ji said, Parikshit, when the Gods made Vishwaroop their priest, then on Devraj Indra's question, Vishwaroop preached Narayan Kavach to him. You should listen to it by concentrating your mind.
• Viswaroop said, Devraj Indra, when there is a fear, one should wear Narayan Kavach and protect his body. Its method is that first of all wash hands and feet and rinse your mouth, then wear a kusha sac in your hand and sit facing north. Shree Narayan Kavach
• After this, after wearing the Kavach, decide not to speak anything else and with purity do Hridaya Aadi Anganyas and Angushtha Aadi Karnyas with the mantras “Om Namo Narayanaya” and “Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevay”.
• First do Nyasa of the eight letters starting from Om etc. of this Ashtakshar Mantra Om Namo Narayanaya in the feet, knees, thighs, stomach, heart, chest, mouth and head respectively. Or do Nyasa of the eight letters starting from the head to the Om sacchar of the aforesaid mantra and then do Nyasa in the same eight body parts in reverse order. After that, do nyas of the twelve letters of the mantra Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay, starting from the right index finger to the left index finger, in the eight fingers of both hands and in two knots of both thumbs.

After that, do Digbandh by saying Om Ma Astraay Phat. A person who knows the method of doing nyas in this way, becomes the embodiment of the mantra.
• 
  
• After that, meditate on your Ishtadev, who is full of all his six powers, wealth, Lakshmi, religion, fame, knowledge and detachment, and think of yourself as such. Only after this, recite this armor which is a form of knowledge, brilliance and austerity.
• Lord Shri Hari has placed his lotus feet on the back of Garur Ji. Whose eight siddhis Anima, Mahima, Garima, Laghima, Prapti, Prakamya, Ishitva and Vashitva are serving and who is holding conch, chakra, shield, sword, mace, arrow, bow and noose in his eight hands. May that Omkar form Lord protect me from all kinds of dangers. Shree Narayan Kavach
• May the fish-like Lord protect me from the water creature in the form of Varun noose inside the water. May Vamana, who assumes the form of a brahmachari due to Maya, protect me on land and may the world-form Shri Trivikram Lord protect me in the sky. May Lord Narasimha, the enemy of the demons, whose terrifying laughter had made all directions resound and whose pregnant wives had miscarriages, protect me in forts, forests, battlefields and other difficult places.
• May Lord Varah, the sacrificial idol, who holds the earth on his tusks, protect me on the path, may Lord Parashurama protect me on the mountain peaks, and Lord Shri Ramchandra, the elder brother of Shri Lakshman and Bharat, protect me during my travels.
• May Lord Narayana protect me from the dreadful witchcrafts like killing and bewitching, and from all kinds of negligence. May the best of sages protect me from pride, Lord Dattatreya, the lord of yoga, protect me from the obstacles in yoga, and Lord Kapil, the lord of the three gunas, protect me from the bondages of karma. Shree Narayan Kavach
• May the supreme sage Sanatkumar protect me from Kamadeva, may Lord Hayagriva protect me from the crime of not saluting the idols of gods while passing through the road, may sage Narad protect me from possible sevaparadise during worship and may Lord Kachhapa protect me from all kinds of hells.

• May Maharishi Vedvyas protect me from ignorance and may Lord Buddha protect me from the negligence spread by hypocrites. For the protection of Dharma, may Lord Kalki, who has taken a great incarnation, protect me from the sins of Kaliyug.
• In the morning, may Lord Keshav protect me with his mace, when the second half of the day has passed, may Lord Govind protect me with his flute, in the third part of the day before noon, may Lord Narayana protect me with his sharp power and in the fourth part of the day, may Lord Vishnu protect me with his Chakraraj Sudarshan. Shree Narayan Kavach
• In the fifth part of the day, in the afternoon, may Lord Madhusudan protect me with his powerful bow. In the sixth part, in the evening, may Brahma and other Trimurtidhaari Madhava, in the first part of the six parts of the night, during Pradosh Kaal, may Hrishikesha, in the second part of the night before midnight and at midnight, may Lord Padmanabh alone protect me.

• O Sudarshan! Your shape is like a chakra. The edge of your wheel is as intense as the fire at the time of doomsday. You keep moving in all directions with the inspiration of the Lord. Just as fire burns dry grass with the help of air, similarly you should burn our enemy army as quickly as possible, burn it.
• O Kaumodaki mace! The touch of the sparks coming out of you is as intolerable as a thunderbolt. O Lord Ajit's favourite, I am your servant. Therefore, you crush Kushmanda, Vinayak, Yaksha, Rakshasa, ghost and spirit planets right now and destroy my enemies. Shree Narayan Kavach
• O best of conches! You scare my enemies by making a terrifying sound just by Lord Krishna blowing it and drive away the dreadful creatures like Yaatudhan, Pramath, Pret, Matrika, Pishacha and Brahmarakshas from here quickly.
• O Lord's best sword, Nandak! Your edge is very sharp. You destroy my enemies with the inspiration of God. God's favourite shield! You have hundreds of moon-shaped circles. Please close the eyes of my enemies who have evil eyes and make them blind forever.
• Whatever fears we have from planets, comets, evil men, reptiles, ferocious animals with teeth, ghosts and evil spirits and sinful beings and whatever is against our well-being, may they all be destroyed instantly by chanting the name, form and weapons of the Lord. Shree Narayan Kavach
• May the Veda-embodiment Lord Garuda and Vishvaksenaji, who are praised by the hymns of the Samveda like Brihad, Rathantar etc., protect us from all kinds of calamities by the effect of merely pronouncing their names. ॥ 29॥
• May the name, form, vehicle, weapons and best associates of Shri Hari protect our intellect, senses, mind and life from all kinds of calamities.
• All the world which is of cause and effect is actually God only. May all our sins be destroyed by the effect of this truth.
• Those who have experienced the unity of Brahma and Atman, in their view God's form is devoid of all alternatives and distinctions. Still, He assumes the powers called ornaments, weapons and form through His Maya-Shakti. This is certainly true. Therefore, may the omniscient, omnipresent God Shri Hari always protect us with all His forms. Shree Narayan Kavach
• May Lord Narasimha, who destroys the fear of all people with His terrifying laughter and devours everyone's brilliance with His brilliance, protect us from all sides, above and below, inside and outside.
• O King of Gods Indra! I have recited this Narayan Kavach to you. Now protect yourself with this Kavach. That's it, then you will easily conquer all the demon kings.
• Anyone who is wearing this Narayan Kavach sees with his eyes or even touches with his feet, he immediately becomes free from all fears.
• Those who have acquired this Vaishnavi Vidya never have any fear of kings, robbers, ghosts, vampires and violent creatures like tigers.
• Devraj! It is a story of ancient times, a Brahmin of Kaushik gotra, having acquired this Vidya, left his body in the desert by practicing Yoga.
• One day Gandharvaraj Chitrarath along with his wives passed over the place where the dead body of that Brahmin was lying, sitting on a plane.
• As soon as he reached this place, he fell down from the sky with his plane facing downwards. His surprise knew no bounds when this happened. When the Valakhilya sages told him that this is the effect of wearing the Narayan Kavach, he took the bones of that Brahmin and immersed them in the east-flowing Saraswati river and then after taking a bath, he went to his world.
• Shri Shukdev Ji says - Parikshit! Whoever listens to this Narayan Kavach on time and who wears it with respect, all creatures bow their heads in respect before him and he becomes free from all kinds of fears.
• Parikshit! In this way, Shatakratu Indra, after receiving this Vaishnava knowledge in the form of Narayan Kavach from Acharya Vishwaroopji, defeated the demons in the battlefield and he started enjoying the Trilokyalakshmi.
