Meaning

From the parts to the whole: the vital breaths (prāṇa) to Jayadurgā, "Durgā the victorious"; the whole body to Sarvasiddhidā, "giver of every attainment". Then a safety clause, completed in verse 65: any place the armour has not named is also entrusted to her. A kavaca typically ends this way, so that nothing is left outside it.
