Q: What is Batukabhairava Khadgamala Stotram?

Read Batukabhairava Khadgamala Stotram in English (IAST) script — full lyrics with English meaning and transliteration. A garland of the sword, in the form these texts always take: one unbroken chain of salutations in which each name is a link, spoken as a single breath rather than divided into verses. It begins at the centre with the limbs of Baṭuka himself — the deity of the heart, of the head, of the crest-lock, of the armour, of the eyes, of the weapon — then opens outward to the five faces of Śiva, Īśāna, Tatpuruṣa, Aghora, Vāmadeva and Sadyojāta, and from there to the Bhairavas in their sequence, Asitāṅga, Ruru, Caṇḍa and the rest. The form belongs to the āvaraṇa worship, where the practitioner moves outward through the enclosures of a yantra naming what stands at each, so that the recitation traces a diagram rather than telling a story.
