śarabheśāṣṭakam

Sharabheshashtakam is a powerful devotional hymn dedicated to Lord Sharabha, the fierce, multi-limbed avian avatar of Lord Shiva. Appearing as part of the Sharabha Tantra, the text invokes the deity to dispel negativity, fear, and malevolent forces. By chanting these verses, the devotee seeks the grace of the Supreme Being in His most formidable form, which was manifested to restore cosmic order. Meditating on Sharabha is believed to grant immense protection, remove obstacles, and provide relief from the influence of evil energies, bestowing peace and spiritual strength upon the sincere practitioner.
