Swarakarshana Bhairava stotram
(A prayer to get wealth and gold)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Bhairava is considered as an incarnation of Lord Shiva by some people and as an assistant to Lord Shiva by I others. There is a legend that he was created by Lord Shiva to pinch off one head of Lord Brahma when due to pride Brahma misbehaved with him. He is considered as the chief of security of the town of Varanasi (kotwal) and Adhi Sankara has written a mellifluous prayer addressed to Kala Bhairava in Varanasi. But Bhairava is also worshipped by Thanthrics of Hindu and Buddhist religions. There is a temple dedicated to Swarna Akarshana Bhairava in Dindukal city of Tamil Nadu .Unlike other forms of Bhairava, swarnakarshana Bhairava has a pleasand look and sits along with his consort. It is believed that by worshipping him, you would become wealthy. IN this translation, I have given the Swarna Akarshana Manthra in the beginning and the prayer addressed to him afterwards . The text of these is available in DEvanagaei
Swarnakashana Bhairava Manthra.
Om Asya swaranakarshhana BHairava stotra maha manthrasya,
Brahma Rishi, anushtup chanda. Sri Swarakarshana Bhairavo devatha,
Hreem bheejam, kleem Shakthi, sa keelakam,
Mama daridrya nasarthe pate viniyoga
Om for the great manthra addressed to The BHairava who attracts gold,
The sage is Brahma, the meter is anushtup, the God addressed is SWarnakarshana BHairava,
Hreem is the seed, Kleem is the power and it is the nail also,
This is being read to eradicate my poverty,
Rishi nyasa:-
Brahmarishye nama sirasi,
Anushtup chandase nama mukhe,
Swarnakarshana BHairavaya nama hrudhi,

Parijatha druma kanthare sthithe manikhya mandape,
Simhasana gatham vandhr bhairavam swarna dhayakam,
Gangeya pathram damarum,

Devyayutham thaptha svarna varna swarnakarshana bhairavam Asrayami
I decide to depend on SWarnakarshana BHairava who sits on the throne
In the Gem studded stage which is in the forest of Parijatha plants,
And who is the one who gives gold and who holds a pot of Gangfa water,
Hand drum, trident in his auspicious hands, who has three eyes, And who is with his consort who shines like the molten gold.
