Manifestation of Śiva’s Saṃhāra-Form
स्पष्टदंष्ट्राधरोष्ठश्च हुंकारसंयुतो हरः । ईदृग्विधस्वरूपश्च ह्युग्र आविर्बभूव ह
spaṣṭadaṃṣṭrādharoṣṭhaśca huṃkārasaṃyuto haraḥ | īdṛgvidhasvarūpaśca hyugra āvirbabhūva ha
ഹരന്റെ ദംഷ്ട്രകളും അധര-ഓഷ്ഠങ്ങളും വ്യക്തമായി ദൃശ്യമായിരുന്നു; ഗംഭീര ‘ഹും’കാരത്തോടുകൂടി, അത്തരമൊരു രൂപത്തിൽ അവൻ ഉഗ്രനായി അവിർഭവിച്ചു।

Tattva Level: pati

Sthala Purana: No direct Jyotirliṅga setting; the explicit huṃkāra and ‘ugra’ manifestation align more with Bhairava/Raudra theophany motifs than with a particular liṅga-sthala narrative.

Shakti Form: Kālī
Role: destructive

It highlights Shiva’s Saguna manifestation as Ugra—an awe-inspiring form that subdues tamas and annihilates inner obstacles, revealing the Lord’s protective power when dharma needs restoration.
The verse emphasizes Saguna Shiva: the same Supreme who is worshiped as the formless Linga can also appear with fierce, describable features for the devotee’s protection and for cosmic regulation.
Contemplation on Shiva’s protective Ugra aspect along with mantra-japa (especially focusing on the energizing ‘huṃ’ sound within Shaiva mantra practice) can be taken as a meditative takeaway, supported by purity disciplines like bhasma (Tripuṇḍra) and devotion.
