अघोराय सुघोराय घोराघौघ विदारिणे । भर्गाय भवबीजानां भंजनाय गरीयसे । नमो विध्वस्तमोहाय विशदात्मगुणाय च
aghorāya sughorāya ghorāghaugha vidāriṇe | bhargāya bhavabījānāṃ bhaṃjanāya garīyase | namo vidhvastamohāya viśadātmaguṇāya ca
السجودُ لغيرِ المُرعِب، وللشديدِ الهيبةِ غايةَ الشدة، مُمزِّقِ جموعِ الرعب. السجودُ لبهَرغا، المُتلألئِ المُهلِك، كاسرِ بذورِ التكوّنِ الدنيوي، الأجلِّ الأعظم. السجودُ لكَ يا من حطّمتَ الوهم، وصفاتُك الفطريةُ صافيةٌ نقيّةٌ بلا دنس.
King (Rājā) praising Śiva (implicit)
Listener: Śaunaka and the Naimiṣāraṇya ṛṣis
Scene: A king-devotee stands with folded hands before a luminous Śiva; the deity appears simultaneously serene (Aghora) and formidable (Sughora), with a halo of fire consuming dark seed-like forms symbolizing bhava-bīja and moha.
Śiva is both gentle and awe-inspiring, protector and liberator—destroying fear, delusion, and the roots of rebirth.
No specific tīrtha is named; the verse is a protective and liberative Śiva-stuti.
No explicit ritual; it supports protective recitation and devotion to Śiva for cutting off moha and bhavabīja.
