Sample: O lord Bhairava! You have a terrifying appearance, you produce fear, you are the ruler of Bhuta (ghosts of a deceased), Preta (state of a Jiva before obsequial rites are performed) and Pramatha (a Gaṇa of Śiva), and you are the remover of misfortunes. You are the cat for [killing] the mouse in the form of delusion, you are the dispeller of worldly fears, you are the landing place (destination) of those who enable [others] to cross over [the ocean of life and death], and you assure safety [of your refugees].[1]
