अष्टभैरव ध्यानस्तोत्रम्

I worship Shiva, the protector of the field, the lord of ghosts and goblins,
Who has red flames in his matted hair, adorned with the moon,
Whose body is red and radiant, holding a trident, skull, noose and drum,
The protector of the world, riding a dog, with three eyes,
The embodiment of bliss and uproar, the one who bestows liberation.

I bow to the field protector who holds a sword and skull, accompanied by a damaru,
Who is liberation, beyond thought, free from impurities and change,
Emitting the sound "Ksham", with a thunderbolt-like teeth,
With fire in his eyes, fierce and intoxicated in demeanor,
Uttering "Bham", worshipped by devotees, with a frowning face,
The terrifying Bhairava holding a trident.

I worship the fierce Bhairava, who is white in color, with ten arms, five faces, and three eyes,
Holding a shield, moon, and nectar, and adorned with the conch, bow, and arrow,
Holding a trident, sword, arrow, and a damaru, looking at the sandalwood paste,
With a garland, and arms that remove all fears, accompanied by Bhujata and Giri,
The Bhairava who bestows all accomplishments.

Meditate always on the fearless god who is like the rising sun, with three eyes,
Red body, lotus-like, smeared with ashes, bestower of boons,
Holding a skull and fearlessness, carrying a trident in his hand,
Blue-throated, adorned with hundreds of ornaments, shining in the assembly of saints,
Residing in the Karuna forest, fearless.

I bow to the field protector, with one hand holding a khatvanga,
Another hand holding a snake, a noose, and a trident,
Skull, sword, and damaru, a bow in the left hand,
Adorned with the moon and sun, wearing a garland of flags,
The one who is fierce and virtuous, wearing the sacred thread of all sacrifices,
The time, the destroyer of time, the remover of my fears.

I worship the one who is like a crystal, with a face as radiant as a pot,
Adorned with divine ornaments, serpent gems, anklets, and bells,
Divine in form, with a clear face, very cheerful, with two eyes,
Holding a skull, staff, and fearlessness, resembling the three-eyed Shiva.

Three-eyed, red in color, adorned with all ornaments,
Holding a skull and trident, with hands showing the boon and fearlessness.
On the left, holding a trident, terrifying, holding a khatvanga in the left hand,
Dressed in red garments, adorned with red garlands and smeared with red paste,
Blue-throated and gentle, adorned with all ornaments.
Known as Nilamegha, with twisted hair and three eyes,
Adorned with snakes and fierce, decorated with a garland of skulls.
With anklets sounding on his feet, wearing a serpent as sacred thread,
Adorned with bells and garlands, terrifying in form, causing fear.

With one face, three eyes, and twelve hands,
Holding a damaru, goad, arrow, sword, trident,
Inspiring fear, carrying a bow, arrow, skull,
Mace, fire, and bestowing boons.
On the left and right sides, holding various weapons,
Blue-throated in form, wearing blue garments,
Adorned with musk and other scents,
White fragrant unbroken rice,
Garlanded with white flowers,
Served by three crore attendants,
Fully adorned with all ornaments,
Known as Samhara (the destroyer).
