##
All the six kavachas
hanumat-lakShmaNa-sItA-rAma-bharata-shatrughna
from AnandarAmAyaNa should be recited together.
If one is unable to recite all the six,
then he/she can recite in the decreasing order
hanumat-lakShmaNa-sItA-rAma
hanumat-sItA-rAma
hanumat-rAma
sItA-rAma
If this is not possible, then one should at least
recite Shri Rama Kavacham.
