Shri Virabhadra Ashtakam is a powerful Sanskrit hymn dedicated to Lord Virabhadra, the fierce and mighty form of Shiva, born from His wrath at the destruction of Sati and the arrogance of Daksha. Reciting this stotra invokes inner strength, protection, and removes fear, weakness, and obstacles.
It is especially powerful for those seeking to overcome anger, assert dharma, or call upon the Krodha-Rupa (wrathful form) of Mahadev.

1.
I worship Virabhadra, who is skillful in destroying Daksha’s sacrifice,
Whose mighty arms are like thundering clubs,
Whose shining third eye burns enemies to ashes.

I worship Virabhadra with his skeletal staff, fierce fangs, and garland of skulls,
Wearing serpents as ornaments and sacred ash all over his body,
He destroys the pride of even Kamadeva.

Whose mere gaze burned powerful cities,
Whose lotus eyes remain ever half-closed in cosmic calm.

Who holds the poison of time in his throat,
Whose head is kissed by the Ganga,
And whose third eye burns like fire.

Who appears dark as collyrium,
Who destroyed countless enemies,
Who resides under a banyan tree wearing a Rudraksha garland.

Adorned with a crescent moon and serpent crown,
Worshiped even by sages like Sanaka,
And delighting in the divine discus.

Who wears forest flowers and the best of gems,
Whose eyes bloom like lotuses at sunrise.

Holder of the golden bow,
Lord of heroes, untouched by desires,
The lone, desireless seeker — the path to liberation itself.
9.
He who recites this sacred Virabhadra Ashtakam at dawn,
Even in times of misfortune or grief,
Will gain happiness, wealth, beauty, stability, and purity.
