The term 'Kavach' often denotes an iron covering, worn on the upper body to protect the respiratory organs from fatal blows in battle. The Sikh Gurus applied the same term to entitle their compositions, and subsequently gave it dual meanings in a highly varied context. In agreement with their spiritual-temporal perspective of creation, they provided both the saint and the warrior with compositions which would not only heighten their spirituality but also provide protection in battle. The three such compositions, entitled 'Kavach' are broadly ranged over the three different Granths of the panth. 'Ram-Kavach' is found in Guru Granth Sahib Ji, 'Brahm Kavach' rests in Dasam Granth; whereas 'Sarbloh Kavach' is located in Sri Sarbloh Granth. The Akali Nihungs recite all three for the spiritual, mental and physical protection they provide.
