The Origin and Worship of Bhauma
Mars/Lohitāṅga
शुक्रश्शिवं समाभाष्य गतो दैत्यान्मुदान्वितः । एवं भौमस्समुत्पन्नो हरांशो भूसमुद्भवः
śukraśśivaṃ samābhāṣya gato daityānmudānvitaḥ | evaṃ bhaumassamutpanno harāṃśo bhūsamudbhavaḥ
شُکر نے شِو سے گفتگو کر کے خوشی کے ساتھ دَیتّیوں کے پاس رخ کیا۔ یوں بھوم پیدا ہوا—ہَر (شِو) کے ایک اَمش کا اوتار، جو زمین سے نمودار ہوا۔

FAQs
Bhauma is a name for Narakāsura, described here as being born from the Earth (Bhū) and identified as a partial manifestation (aṃśa) of Hara (Śiva).
It states that Śukra, after conversing with Śiva, went gladly to the Daityas—implying his function as an advisor/priestly figure connected with the Daitya community.
Calling him a 'harāṃśa' frames Bhauma’s birth as linked to divine causality—his power and destiny are presented as arising from a share of Śiva’s potency, even though the narrative concerns Daityas and earthly origin.
