Sri Batuka Bhairava Pratha:Smarana sthothram – Lyrics and meaning



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||





I shall meditate upon Sri Batuka Bhairava during the hours of early dawn, he is extremely charismastic, he has the luster of crystal, his forehead is covered in beautiful curls of hair locks, his face has great effulgence and he is adorned in beautiful ornaments, his hands and ankles are adorned in magnificent ornaments.  I shall prostrate before Sri Batuka Bhairava who is youthful and has great vigor, he has three eyes, he lures the heart of worshiper, he is wielded in Kapala, Thrishoola and Dhanda, one hand in Varadhahastha posture, he is wielded in weapons in order to destroys the wordly desires of the worshiper, he is adorned in Kausthubham and various ornaments all over the body. I shall prostrate before Sri Batuka Bhairava during the hours of early dawn, he symbolizes victory, he is pure, he is Mahesha, he is wielded in  Naga, Pasham, Kapalam, Damaru, Srini, Gadgam, Gandam, he has reddish brown hair locks, he has three eyes, he holds  garland of skulls on his hands, he has fierce protruding teeth, he is victorious.  Oh! Devadeva/Lord of Lords, Oh! Kripasindho/Ocean of mercy, kindly eradicates all our enemies, kindly guide my intellect which is already soaked in worldly desires in to the path of Moksha.  Whoever reads or listens to these glorious verses praising the splendor of Bhairava would be relieved from all kinds of perils and worshiper would remain fearless always.
