ശ്രീ ബടുക ഭൈരവ സഹസ്രനാമ സ്തോത്രമ്

A thousand names of Baṭuka Bhairava from the Rudrayāmala, whose viniyoga names Durvāsā as the seer — the sage remembered for his temper, which suits a hymn addressed to the fierce form. The stated purpose is given in the same breath as the seer and is unusually blunt: the accomplishment of every undertaking and the warding off of every enemy. The placing that follows puts Durvāsā on the head, the metre on the mouth, the deity in the heart and the purpose itself over the whole body. The names begin by circling the word Bhairava rather than leaving it — salutation to the one whose form is Bhairava, to Bhairava, to the one whose form is auspicious, to the giver of victory, to the one whose form is the aeon, to the one beyond it. It runs to two hundred and twenty-two verses, and its phalaśruti says that whoever recites it or has it recited is thereby Rudra's own servant.
