Miscellaneous Notes
Vīrabhadra is treated here as the submarine fire which takes the form of a female horse, hence this name and he drinks all the excess water in the ocean. This virulent and formidable aspect of vīrabhadra is invoked for the destruction of enemies. There are mantra-s similar to this with the word baḍabānala(or vaḍavānala), qualifying the names of deities such as bhairava, sudar'sana, hanumān and others
