Shaiva-Tantra tradition; the Apaduddharaka Batuka Bhairava worship · Traditional (anonymous); from the Tantric Bhairava liturgy · Ancient (Tantric/Puranic)
Bhairava is the fierce, guardian form of Lord Shiva, famed as the Kotwal (protector-magistrate) of Kashi, whom pilgrims honour before darshan of Vishwanatha. Among his many forms, Batuka Bhairava is worshipped as a luminous young boy — fierce enough to destroy all dangers, yet utterly gracious to those who take refuge in him. These dhyana verses belong to the Apaduddharaka Batuka Bhairava tradition, recited to invoke his protection in times of distress and to dispel fear, obstacles and negativity from the devotee's path.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
Devotees of Apaduddharaka Batuka Bhairava recount that sincere worship of his crystal-bright form has turned away sudden calamities, illness and the harm of enemies — for it is said that wherever this fearless boy-Bhairava is meditated upon with faith, fear itself cannot remain.

ಅರ್ಥ:I bow to Batuka — the boy-form of Bhairava — whose complexion is clear as crystal and whose face shines with earrings; adorned with divine ornaments set with the nine gems, with little bells and anklets; of blazing form yet bright-faced, three-eyed and exceedingly gracious, who ever holds in his two lotus-hands the trident and the staff.

ಅರ್ಥ:I ever meditate on that God, fear-dispelling, who shines like the rising sun, three-eyed, anointed in red and garlanded in red; with a smiling face, holding in his hands the boon-giving gesture, the skull-bowl, the gesture of fearlessness and the trident; the blue-throated one, adorned with a hundred noble ornaments, brilliant with the cool-rayed moon on his crest, clad in the russet-red colour of the bandhuka flower.

ಅರ್ಥ:One should meditate on Mahesha, lovely as a dark-blue mountain, white with the crescent moon, wearing a garland of skulls; clad in the directions (sky-clad), with tawny hair, bearing in his lotus-hands the damaru drum, the goad, the sword, the trident and the gesture of fearlessness, a serpent, a bell and the skull-bowl; with fearsome fangs, serpents for ornaments, three eyes, and resplendent with jewel-studded little bells and anklets.

Batuka Bhairava Stotram ಪಾರಾಯಣ ವಿಧಿ
Sit facing a image or yantra of Bhairava, ideally after sunset, and recite the dhyana verses while holding the visualised form of Batuka Bhairava clearly in mind — crystal-bright, three-eyed, bearing trident, staff, damaru and skull-bowl, his crest aglow with the moon. These verses are meant for dhyana (meditative visualisation), so chant them slowly and steadily, dwelling on each detail of the Lord's form. They may precede the Batuka Bhairava mula mantra or a longer kavacham. Offering a lamp and observing inner and outer cleanliness is recommended for this fierce yet compassionate deity.
