Prayogas of Batuka Bhairava

Nibandhas like Bṛhat Tantrasāra or Īśānaśivagurudeva paddhati view Baṭukabhairava as mainly a kṣetrapāla who is offered balis to, however He’s a deity with much more wider range. These are notes from Rudradev Tripathi’s book who cites a Bhairava tantra (about prayogas of His famous 108 nāma stotra/nāmāvalī)

  • Dhanaprāpti
  • Iṣṭasiddhiprāpti
  • Freedom from debts
  • Sarvasiddhi
  • Saving from great dangers
  • Combination with Durgā Saptashati: Another genre of Batuka aṣtottara prayogas. Maithilis use a special combination for fulfillment of all desires.
  • Kramas of pāṭha for various purposes

Needless to say, all these need upadeśa and subsequent anuṣṭhāna/puraścaraṇa of the Batuka mūlamantras from a living guru.
