PSH Meaning of verses from 18 to 20
Those who recite Sriraama KavachaM without  reciting
SeetaakavachaM and also Lakshmana Kavacha, (recitation
Of only Sriraama Kavacham) is fruitless. Therefore,
all the four Kavachams should be recited by people -
first Hanumat, next Lakshmana, thereafter Seetaa
Kavachams should be recited and lastly SriraamaKavacham.
Thus, all the four kavachams are to be recited.
