Kaala Bhairavaashtakam – English Script
devarāja sevyamāna pāvanāṅghri paṅkajaṃ
vyāḷayaṅña sūtramindu śekharaṃ kṛpākaram |
nāradādi yogibṛnda vanditaṃ digambaraṃ
kāśikāpurādhinātha kālabhairavaṃ bhaje || 1 ||
bhānukoṭi bhāsvaraṃ bhavabdhitārakaṃ paraṃ
nīlakaṇṭha mīpsitārdha dāyakaṃ trilocanam |
kālakāla mambujākṣa mastaśūnya makṣaraṃ
kāśikāpurādhinātha kālabhairavaṃ bhaje || 2 ||
śūlaṭaṅka pāśadaṇḍa pāṇimādi kāraṇaṃ
śyāmakāya mādideva makṣaraṃ nirāmayam |
bhīmavikramaṃ prabhuṃ vicitra tāṇḍava priyaṃ
kāśikāpurādhinātha kālabhairavaṃ bhaje || 3 ||
bhukti mukti dāyakaṃ praśastacāru vigrahaṃ
bhaktavatsalaṃ sthitaṃ samastaloka vigraham |
nikvaṇan-manoṅña hema kiṅkiṇī lasatkaṭiṃ
kāśikāpurādhinātha kālabhairavaṃ bhaje || 4 ||
dharmasetu pālakaṃ tvadharmamārga nāśakaṃ
karmapāśa mocakaṃ suśarma dāyakaṃ vibhum |
svarṇavarṇa keśapāśa śobhitāṅga nirmalaṃ
kāśikāpurādhinātha kālabhairavaṃ bhaje || 5 ||
ratna pādukā prabhābhirāma pādayugmakaṃ
nitya madvitīya miṣṭa daivataṃ nirañjanam |
mṛtyudarpa nāśanaṃ karāḷadaṃṣṭra bhūṣaṇaṃ
kāśikāpurādhinātha kālabhairavaṃ bhaje || 6 ||
aṭṭahāsa bhinna padmajāṇḍakośa santatiṃ
dṛṣṭipāta naṣṭapāpa jālamugra śāsanam |
aṣṭasiddhi dāyakaṃ kapālamālikā dharaṃ
kāśikāpurādhinātha kālabhairavaṃ bhaje || 7 ||
bhūtasaṅgha nāyakaṃ viśālakīrti dāyakaṃ
kāśivāsi loka puṇyapāpa śodhakaṃ vibhum |
nītimārga kovidaṃ purātanaṃ jagatpatiṃ
kāśikāpurādhinātha kālabhairavaṃ bhaje || 8 ||
kālabhairavāṣṭakaṃ paṭhanti ye manoharaṃ
ṅñānamukti sādhakaṃ vicitra puṇya vardhanam |
śokamoha lobhadainya kopatāpa nāśanaṃ
te prayānti kālabhairavāṅghri sannidhiṃ dhruvam ||
