Origin & Story

Tantric Shaiva tradition (Batuka Bhairava Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram, associated with the Bhairava / Rudrayamala tantric texts) · Traditional (tantric Shaiva tradition) · Classical / medieval

Batuka Bhairava is venerated as the boy-form of Bhairava, the terrifying yet protective emanation of Shiva. In the Tantric tradition he is a guardian deity (Kshetrapala) invoked for swift protection and the fulfilment of sadhana. This 108-name hymn gathers his many aspects — fierce and gentle, the cremation-ground ascetic and the bestower of wealth and wisdom — into a single flowing praise sealed with a promise of fearlessness for the devotee.

✦ As told in scripture

By its own phala-shruti the hymn declares that one who recites these 108 names is touched by no evil and knows no fear of spirits, enemies, or sins. Devotees of Batuka Bhairava recount that sincere recitation, especially the Apaduddharaka (calamity-removing) invocation of Bhairava, has shielded them in moments of grave danger and dissolved unseen afflictions.

Repetitions1times

Best TimeBhairava Ashtami, Kalashtami (Ashtami of the waning moon), Sunday or Tuesday nights, and during evening (pradosh) worship

This is a tantric namastotram. Sit facing south (the direction of Bhairava), light a lamp (mustard-oil is traditional) and, where observed, offer to the dog that accompanies Bhairava. Recite the 108 names flowingly from 'Om Bhairavo Bhutanathascha' to the end, then the phala-shruti verses. It may be read once daily; on Bhairava Ashtami and Kalashtami repeated recitation is especially fruitful. Approach the fierce form with reverence and a clean, sattvic mind.

Batuka Bhairava is a form of Lord Shiva worshipped as a young boy (batuka means 'lad') who is at once gentle and fiercely protective. He is one of the most important Bhairava forms in the Tantric tradition, invoked as a swift guardian who delivers devotees from danger and grants spiritual attainments.

It is a hymn that recites 108 names (ashtottara-shata-nama) of Batuka Bhairava in flowing anushtubh verse, beginning 'Om Bhairavo Bhutanathascha Bhutatma Bhutabhavanah'. Unlike a namavali (which lists each name with 'Om... Namah'), this is a continuous stotram, ending with phala-shruti verses describing its fruits.

Its own concluding verses declare that the reciter has no evil befall them and no fear of spirits, enemies or sins. It is chanted for strong protection, removal of obstacles and dangers (Sarvapat-Tarana), healing (Bhairava as Vaidya), and the grace of attainments (Siddhida).

It is best chanted on Bhairava Ashtami and Kalashtami, and on Sunday or Tuesday nights, facing south before a lamp. Being a fierce-deity tantric hymn, it should be recited with reverence, cleanliness and devotion. Beginners may simply chant it as a heartfelt prayer to Shiva-Bhairava for protection.
