Adi Sankara wrote the hymn Kala Bhairava Ashtakam in Sanskrit. The hymn depicts the character of Kala Bhairava (Shiva), the God of Death (kala).
Kalabhairava is depicted naked and black, entwined with a garland of skulls, three eyes, weapons of destruction in his hands, and snakes intertwined with him.
Every day chanting the Kalabhairava Ashtakam provides us with knowledge of life and leads us to liberation. We are given advantages that are unknown, incomprehensible, and intangible. Chanting this ashtakam liberates us from shoka (grief), moha (attachment and delusion, the causes of misery), dainya (poverty or a sense of lack), lobha (greed), kopa (irritability and anger), and tapa (dissatisfaction) (sufferings).
Lord Kalabhairava's vehicle is Shvaana (a dog).
It is the most terrifying depiction of Lord Shiva.
The lord of death/time is Kalabhairava.
The words 'death' and 'time' are symbolic in spirituality.
Shvaana is a combination of the words shva and na.
In Vedic literature, shva means both tomorrow and yesterday, whereas na means neither.So shvaana refers to something that is neither yesterday nor tomorrow, but only exists now, in the present moment.
Kalabhairava is neither yesterday nor tomorrow, but is always present in the present. Vikraala is the depiction of Kalabhairava (large and fearsome). It represents how time consumes everything. With the passage of time, everything in this world will disintegrate and perish.
