Notes:

Śiva ##shiva## advises about the ŚivaStutiḥ ##shivastutiH## as He delivers Upadeśa ##upadesha## to Pārvatī ##pArvatI## about observing Aṣṭamī ##aShTamI## - especially that KṛṣṇaPakṣa ##kR^iShNapakSha## - that is known as Kālāṣṭamī ##kAlAShTamI## - and the merits of doing so.
He advises about worshiping Him with Mahādevī ##mahAdevI## and His gaṇa-s ##gaNAH##; and worshiping His Aśṭamūrti ##aShTamUrti##.

He also advises about Kālabhairavāṣṭakam ##kAlabhairavAShTakam##; the latter being meant to be recited for worshiping Bhairava Kālarāja ##bhairava kAlarAja##.

The Īśvaraproktaṁ  Aṣṭamīpūjākathanam ##IshvaraproktamaShTamIpUjAkathanam## and the Kālabhairavāṣṭakam ##kAlAShTakam## can be accessed from the links given below.##
