वीरभद्र-भैरव-आह्वानम् — Invocation of Vīrabhadra/Bhairava for Cosmic Reabsorption
मत्प्रसादेन सकलमभयं हि प्रवर्त्तते । अहं हि सर्वशक्तीनां प्रवर्तकनिवर्तकः
matprasādena sakalamabhayaṃ hi pravarttate | ahaṃ hi sarvaśaktīnāṃ pravartakanivartakaḥ
Sa pamamagitan lamang ng aking biyaya, ang lahat ay umuusad sa kalagayang walang takot. Sapagkat Ako ang nagpapakilos sa lahat ng kapangyarihan—at Ako rin ang nagbabalik at pumipigil sa mga ito.
Lord Shiva
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Mahādeva
Type: stotra
Role: liberating
It teaches that true abhaya (fearlessness) arises from Shiva’s anugraha (grace): as Pati, He alone governs the cosmos and the soul’s safety, turning bondage toward liberation by initiating and restraining all forces.
The Linga signifies Shiva as the supreme ground beyond fear; worship of Saguna Shiva (as the gracious Lord) is a direct approach to His protective anugraha—recognizing Him as the ruler of all shaktis that operate in creation and dissolution.
Practice japa of the Panchakshara mantra “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” with an attitude of surrender, and perform Tripuṇḍra (bhasma) application while contemplating Shiva as the source of abhaya who both empowers and withdraws all inner and outer energies.
