Bhayatrasta (भयत्रस्त) refers to “fear and tremble�, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 15.7cd-9ab, while describing protection rituals]—“The Mantrin who is present to achieve protection, should offer the mark of the name to Agni in the fire. [He does this] through the performance of a īᲹԲ rite with a mind that is enraged, at a time when all beings everywhere [live in] fear and tremble (bhayatrastabhayatrasteṣu sarvata�). It is called īᲹԲ because it causes all good fortune�.
