Beginning :
यन्मन्त्रजपतो विप्रः सिद्धोऽभूदिह भूतले । वटुकं सिद्धिदं कान्तं भैरवं तं नमाम्यहम् ॥ विप्रः बहदारण्यकः। वटुकं वटुकनामानम् । -आपद्गतमनुष्याणामापदुद्धारहेतुके ।। मन्त्रस्तोत्रे भैरवस्य ऋषिभिः समुदौरिते ॥ अतस्तविषय बद्धं जाता भक्त्या मतिर्मम । यं दृष्ट्वा साधकाः सर्वे भविष्यन्ति गतव्यथाः॥ मत्कल्पितं नात्र किञ्चिद् यत् कृतं ग्रन्थकारकैः । तत्संग्रहोऽत्र विज्ञेयः सर्वभूतदयालुभिः ॥
