Sumanā and Somaśarmā: Tapas at the Kapilā–Revā Confluence and the Theophany of Hari
भयरूपं प्रपन्नोस्मि भयं किं मे करिष्यति । तारकः सर्वलोकानां नाशकः सर्वपापिनाम्
bhayarūpaṃ prapannosmi bhayaṃ kiṃ me kariṣyati | tārakaḥ sarvalokānāṃ nāśakaḥ sarvapāpinām
Me acojo a Aquel que es la forma misma y señor del temor: ¿qué puede hacerme el miedo ahora? Él es el salvador de todos los mundos y el destructor de los pecados de los pecadores.

Concept: Śaraṇāgati to the Lord who is the very master of fear makes fear powerless; His grace destroys sin and protects the worlds.
Application: When anxiety rises, consciously ‘take refuge’ through nāma-japa and remembrance; replace rumination with a short vow of trust and a concrete act of dharma that day.

FAQs
That surrender (śaraṇāgati) to the supreme protector removes existential fear, because fear itself is powerless before the One who governs it.
The verse points to a supreme divine protector (often understood in Purāṇic bhakti contexts as the Lord), but the specific named deity cannot be confirmed from this verse alone without its narrative frame.
Cultivate refuge in the Divine rather than panic in adversity; moral purification follows from sincere surrender, expressed as trust, repentance, and restraint from sinful actions.
