NAMA 99, 100, & 101, of BHAIRAVA ASHTOTTARNAMA SERIES (108 Names of Bhairava)


NAMA 99

ॐ दुर्गाय नमः 
oṃ durgāya namaḥ 

Meaning:
Salutations to the One who is difficult to access or approach.

Remarks:
The word Durga is derived from dur (“difficult”) and the root gam (“to go” or “to access”), conveying that which is hard to approach, inaccessible, or fortified.

He is called Durga because reaching Him requires passing through intense sādhana and the overcoming of one’s fears. It is precisely this passage through difficulty that constitutes true attainment. He ensures that only those with unwavering focus and bhakti can access the deeper layers of Śakti-sādhana.

At another level, durga also means a fortress or stronghold—something difficult to penetrate. Applied to Bhairava, this expresses His nature as the ultimate protective principle.

One established in Bhairava-consciousness becomes inwardly fortified, no longer vulnerable to fear, hostile forces, or subtle disturbances.


NAMA 100

ॐ दुष्टभूतनिषेविताय नमः
oṃ duṣṭabhūtaniṣevitāya namaḥ

Meaning:

Salutations to the One who is served or attended by even wicked spirits/beings.

Remarks:

This name is a Sanskrit compound consisting of three parts:
Duṣṭa : Wicked, evil, or malevolent.
Bhūta: Beings, spirits, or elemental entities.
Niṣevita : Served, attended to.

Thus the meaning of this name becomes : "He who is served  or attended by  wicked/malevolent spirits".

The Śakti Saṅgama Tantra notes that beings such as Vetālas, Pretas, Kuṣmāṇḍas, Yakṣas, and Rākṣasas began to afflict people—especially those engaged in spiritual practices like japa and sādhana.

It also mentions that Baṭuka was conceived by the Tārā and Kālī specifically for the destruction of these beings and to favor devotees.

Once Śiva assumed the form of Baṭuka, these malevolent spirits ceased to cause suffering. Many of these beings also took the form of dogs to serve and attend to him.


NAMA 101

ॐ कामिने नमः 
oṃ kāmine namaḥ 

Meaning:

Salutations to the One whose desire is Absolute Creative Will (Icchā-śakti).

Remarks:

While the term Kāmin (from the root kam, “to desire”) often denotes one bound by worldly passion, its application to Bhairava transforms it into a title of Absolute Will.

In this context, kāma is understood as satyasaṅkalpa—an unfailing, self-effective resolve. This is the Spanda, the primordial impulse by which the cosmos is projected and withdrawn.

For humans, kāma appears as a compulsive mental impulse; in the Supreme, it is pure creative will. Thus, to call Bhairava Kāmin is to affirm that he has complete mastery over kāma and is its very source and wielder.

NAMA 96, 97 & 98 of BHAIRAVA ASHTOTTARNAMA (108 Names of Bhairava)


NAMA 96

ॐ बालाय नमः 
oṃ bālāya namaḥ

Meaning:
Salutations to the One who takes the form a child.

Remarks:
The two names Bālaḥ and Abāla-parākramaḥ occur consecutively, presenting a deliberate paradox.

Bālaḥ means “a child,” referring to His outward form.

Abāla-parākramaḥ means “He whose valour (parākrama) is not that of a child”—that is, whose power is immense, extraordinary, and disproportionate to His youthful appearance.

Tantric texts state that He is born from the concentrated tejas of countless Mahāmantras, Yoginīs, Bhairavas, and Mahāvidyās.

Further, the Goddesses Mahogratārā, Chinnamastā, and Kālī adorn Him with the yajñopavīta, the kapāla, and the triśūla. Hosts of siddhas, yakṣas, gandharvas, and kinnaras assume the form of dogs to attend upon Him.

 Conceived through Tārā and Kālī, endowed with immense tejas and power, It is therefore evident that He is no ordinary child.

It is said that Śiva assumes this child-form so that vetālas, pretas, yakṣas and grahas cease afflicting sādhakas and aide in the fruition (siddhi) of their spiritual practices.


NAMA 97

ॐ अबालपराक्रमाय नमः 
oṃ abālaparākramāya namaḥ 

Meaning:
Salutations to the One who has immense valour.


NAMA 98

ॐ सर्वापत्तारणाय नमः 
oṃ sarvāpattāraṇāya namaḥ 

Meaning:
Salutations to The Deliverer/Savior from all calamities and obstacles.

Remarks:
Sarvāpattāraṇa is formed from sarva (“all”), āpat (“calamity, danger, affliction”), and tāraṇa (“crossing over, deliverance”). The name thus means “He who carries one across all calamities and dangers.”

Batuka Bhairava is described in the tantric texts as vighnamardaka, the crusher of obstacles, and āpad-uddhāraka, the rescuer from great danger. 

Chanting his mantra delivers the practitioner from immediate worldly threats—such as thieves, hostile authorities, enemies ,dangerous creatures—and subdues wicked and hostile beings. He also grants release even from severe bondage or imprisonment and destroying bodily illness

Recitation of his names and mantra removes fear and protection from  epidemics, natural calamities, spirits, and unseen forces.He also cures spirit-related afflictions, sorcery, black magic, and malefic planetary influences, while bestowing strength, vitality, and safeguarding the devotee from untimely or accidental death.

NAMA 93, 94 & 95 of BHAIRAVA ASHTOTTARNAMA (108 Names of Bhairava)

NAMA 93

ॐ मुण्डभूषिताय नमः 
oṃ muṇḍabhūṣitāya namaḥ 

Meaning:

Salutations to the One who is adorned with a garland of skulls.

Remarks:

Muṇḍabhūṣita means adorned (bhūṣita) with skulls (muṇḍa).

In Śaiva iconography, this refers to the Muṇḍamālā—the garland of skulls that Bhairava wears around his neck. This motif is also found in a few goddesses such as Kālī and Tārā.

In the Tantric tradition, the esoteric meaning of the 50 skulls worn by Bhairava is that they represent the 50 letters of the Sanskrit alphabet (Varṇamālā), from “a” (अ) to “kṣa” (क्ष).

The universe is said to arise from sound vibration (Śabda/Spanda). The letters are the Mātṛkās (“Mothers”)—the fundamental powers (Śaktis) that project and structure manifested reality.

By wearing the letters as a garland, Bhairava demonstrates that He is the Lord of the Mātṛkās—the sovereign of all cosmic powers associated with each phoneme. 

These phonemes are also linked to the petals of the internal chakras (lotuses), from the Mūlādhāra up to the Ājñā chakra.


NAMA 94

ॐ बलिभुजे नमः 
oṃ balibhuje namaḥ 

Meaning:

Salutations to the One who consumes the Bali offerings.

Remarks:

The word Balibhuk means “the One who consumes (bhuj) the Bali offering.”

In Tantric scriptures, Bali is described as an offering—often involving animal sacrifice—made to deities such as Durga, Chandika, Bhairava, Kali, and others.

Before offering Bali to the main deity, the scriptures prescribe that it should first be offered to Kṣetrapālas, Bhairavas, Yoginīs, and other guardians who protect the sacred space. This appeases them so that they do not obstruct the ritual and instead assist it with their goodwill.

“O Kuleśvarī! As long as one does not offer Bali to Vaṭuka, all other deities remain unsatisfied, even if worshipped with elaborate rituals or japa.”
— Kularṇava Tantra 7.3

When we call Batuka Balibhuṅnātha (Balibhuk + Nātha, “Lord”), it signifies that He is the Master who governs the entire process of Bali.

Since Bali is also offered to lower beings such as Bhūtas, Pretas, and Piśācas, calling Batuka Balibhuṅnātha further signifies that He is the sovereign of these beings. By pleasing Batuka, one ensures that all such entities are properly appeased.

The Goddess declares in the Manthanabhairava Tantram:

“I have given Batuka authority over the entire administration of the Kula-śāsana. The great-souled Master accepts the portion of the Bali.”


NAMA 95

ॐ बलिभुङ्नाथाय नमः 
oṃ balibhuṅnāthāya namaḥ 

Meaning:

Salutations to the Lord of all the beings who are propitiated by Bali.
