भद्रस्य देवसंघेषु विक्रमः
Bhadra’s Onslaught among the Deva Hosts
विभ्रद्व्याघ्राजिनं वासो हेमप्रवरतारकम् । छिन्दन्भिन्दन्नुद १ लिन्दन्दारयन्प्रमथन्नपि
vibhradvyāghrājinaṃ vāso hemapravaratārakam | chindanbhindannuda 1 lindandārayanpramathannapi
虎皮を衣としてまとい、輝く黄金の飾りを帯び、彼は抗しがたい力で進んだ――斬り、砕き、押し返し、引き裂き、あらゆる障碍をも制圧した。
Suta Goswami
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Bhairava
It portrays Shiva as Pati—the supreme Lord whose power destroys obstacles and bondage (pāśa), protecting the devotee and clearing the path toward liberation through his grace.
The verse emphasizes Saguna Shiva’s manifest attributes (tiger-skin, ornaments, heroic action), supporting devotional contemplation where the Linga is worshipped as the visible focus of the same transcendent Lord.
Meditate on Shiva as the remover of inner obstacles while repeating the Panchakshara mantra (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), and reinforce the vow with simple Shiva-puja (water offering) and Tripuṇḍra/bhasma remembrance where appropriate.
