Bhairavaśāpavṛttāntaḥ
The Episode of Bhairava’s Curse and Consolation
ततश्च शंकरः शीघ्रं तमागत्य मुनीश्वर । अश्वासयद्भैरवं हि नानाऽनुनयकोविदः
tataśca śaṃkaraḥ śīghraṃ tamāgatya munīśvara | aśvāsayadbhairavaṃ hi nānā'nunayakovidaḥ
បន្ទាប់មក ព្រះសង្ករ បានមកដល់យ៉ាងរហ័ស ឱ មុនីឥશ્વរ ហើយបានលួងលោមភៃរវៈ ដោយជំនាញក្នុងពាក្យទន់ភ្លន់ និងការអនុញ្ញាតជាច្រើន។

Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Mahādeva
Role: nurturing
It highlights Śiva as the compassionate Pati (Lord) who steadies and guides even His fierce manifestations; divine power is governed by grace, restraint, and right intention.
The verse emphasizes Saguna Śiva’s accessible, personal aspect—He approaches, speaks, and consoles—supporting devotional worship where the Lord is experienced as a living protector and teacher, not merely an abstract absolute.
A practical takeaway is japa with surrender—especially the Panchakshara “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”—to calm agitation and align one’s inner ‘Bhairava’ energies under Śiva’s grace; maintaining Tripuṇḍra and Rudrākṣa supports steadiness if one already follows those vows.
