Kotwal of Kashi

Verse 1: Deva-Raaja-Sevyamaana, sacred feet on hallowed ground, Indu-Shekharam, Naarada’s prayers all around. Digambara, Kaalabhairava, ruler of realms, In Kaashikaa-Pura, your power overwhelms. Chorus: Kaashikaa-Pura-Adhinaatha, master of fate, Kaalabhairava, show us through the gate. From Bhavaabdhi to salvation, light the path, Trilocana, eternal, we feel your wrath. Verse 2: Bhaanu-Kotti-Bhaasvaram, a million suns blaze, Niila-Kannttham, blue-throated, piercing the haze. Kaala-Kaalam, time's master, lotus-eyed sight, Ambuja-Akssam, eternal, your light. Chorus: Kaashikaa-Pura-Adhinaatha, master of fate, Kaalabhairava, show us through the gate. From Bhavaabdhi to salvation, light the path, Trilocana, eternal, we feel your wrath. Verse 3: Shuula-Tanka, weapons in hand, Shyaama-Kaayam, primordial stand. Vichitra-Taannddava, cosmic dance trance, Kaalabhairava, in your fierce glance. Chorus: Kaashikaa-Pura-Adhinaatha, master of fate, Kaalabhairava, show us through the gate. From Bhavaabdhi to salvation, light the path, Trilocana, eternal, we feel your wrath.
