Bhairava Stotram
By
Saint Abhinava Guptha
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Abhinava
Guptha was one of the very great
saints of Kashmir Saivism. He lived
most probably before Adhi Shankara .Some people believe that ADhi Sankara met him and he was defeated in argument. This great prayer was composed by him just before his
death. It seems chanting this prayer he
entered called BHirava Guha
, never to come out again.The Sanskrit original of this prayer is
available in http://www.kamakotimandali.com/blog/index.php?p=1026&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
And a commentary
in English of this prayer is available in
1.Vyapatha
charachara bhava visesham,
Chinmayameka manantha manadhim,
Bhairava Nadha manadha
saranyam,
Thwan maya chitha
thayaa hrudhi vandhe.
He who is involved
in the consciousness of
Moving and non moving beings who are spreadeverywhere,
Who is divine , only one
, endless and primeval,
Who is Lord Bhairava
who is the support of all orphans
,
I salute him who is in my mind with all my heart.
2.THwan maya methadha
seshamidhaanim,
Bhathi mama thwad anugraha sakthyaa,
THwam cha mahesa sadaiva mamathma ,
Swathma mayam mama thena samastham.
At the present time , you are completely spread in me,
And to me it appears
that with your power of blessing,
You are always the greatest god
who has filled up,
My soul which is
completely full of yourself.
3.Swathmani
viswaghe they thwayi naadhe,
THena na samsruthi bheethi kadha asthi,
SAthswapi
durdhara dukha vimoha,
THrasa

In this world you are the lord of my soul,
And because of that there is no fear in my existence ,
And due to that I am not afraid of difficulties and sorrow,
Which are
resulting from this cycle of
birth and death
4.Anthakam maam prathi maa drusyamenaa,
Krodha karala thamam
vinidhohi,
Shankara sevana
chinthano dheero,
Bheeshana
Bhairava sakthi mayosmi.
Oh lord of death
do not see me,
Do not give me
that very black angry look ,
Oh courageous one
who always thinks of serving Shiva,
Oh fearsome
Bhairava , make me filled up with
strength.
5.Itham upoda
bhavan maya samvee,
Dheedhithi dharitha bhooritha misra,
Mruthyu yamanthaka
karma pisachair,
Nadha namosthu na
jathu vibhomi.
Like this for me
you please commence,
This mingling with the
splendour of light ,
And bring to an end the duties of the ghosts of god of
death,
Oh Lord , salutations and please never awaken them.
6.Prodhitha Sathya vibhodha mareechi,
Prekshitha viswa padartha sathathwaa,
Bhava paraamrutha nirbhara poorne,
THwayyaham aathmani nirvruthaimemi.
Oh ray of light of the awakening truth,
Who is called the universal consciousness of the world,
Who is having a nature filled with
the divine nectar.
To you my
soul salutes with ecstasy
7.Manasa gocharamethi
yadaiva,
Klesa dasa thanu thapa
vidathri,
Nadha thadaiva mama thwad abhedha,
Stotra paramrutha vrushti rudhethi.
Assuming that you
are attainable by the mind,
Finding that my
body is in state of suffering,
Oh Lord , I am raining
this nectar like prayer ,
So that I
would not be different from you.
8.Sankara sathyamidham Vrutha dhana,
Snana thapo bhava
thapa vidhari,
Thavaka Sasthra
paramarmrutha chinthaa,
Syandhathi chethasi nirvruthi dhararam
Oh Lord Shiva , it
is true that penance, charity,
Bath in sacred waters and meditation breaks
the pain of birth and death,
But the nectar
like thought of your divine
story,
Would wet the mind
with ultimate salvation.
9.Nruthyathi ,gayathi , hrushyathi gaadam,
SAmvidhiyam mama
bhairavanadha ,
THwaam priyamaapya
sudarsanamekam,
Durlabham anya janai
samayajnam.
Oh Lord Bhairava
it is well known,
That dancing singing
and intimate knowledge ,
Of you is measured
as the only good acts to be done,
And is not
easily available to the bad people at
the right time.
10.Vasura sapoushe , Krishna dasamyam,
Abhinava guptha
sthavam imam karoth,
Yena vibhur bhavam
arusanthapam ,
SAmayathi jadithi
janasya dhayaalu,
SAmptham sthavam idham abhinava vaakhyam
padhya navakam.
Abhinava Guptha
wrote this great prayer ,
On the Dasami of the dark fortnight in the month of Pausha,
And due to this the Lord
due to utmost compassion,
Quickly destroys
all sufferings of people , as he is merciful.
Thus ends the prayer of nine stanzas written by Abhinava Guptha.
