Bhairava's Statue

Bhairava, Kala Bhairava, Om kalbhairavay namah, An avatar of Shiva With the dandapani, the rod of punishment And the dog following him Or as his attendant. The legend as for Who is superior, Brahma or Vishnu, Brahma turning egoistical And calling himself more powerful than Shiva Ends in the cutting of his one head Positioned into the hands of Kala Bhairava And all this when Shiva but threw a hair Turning into Kala Bhairava and the errand done. Bhairava the awesome one, the fearsome one, One who punishes, Maintains, creates, destroys and dissolves, Bhairava, Kala Bhairava, A manifestation of Siva But in many figures and faces Looking terrible and fierce.
