Elaboration
The name Prabhāve is a potent designation for Kalabhairava, rooted in the Sanskrit term Prabhāva.
Supreme and All-Powerful (The Manifested Power) Prabhāva refers to supreme power, majesty, might, and dominion. It signifies that Kalabhairava is the ultimate source of all power, the one who possesses absolute authority over the cosmos, including time, creation, preservation, and dissolution. His power is not merely great but all-encompassing and unparalleled. He is the prime mover and controller of all forces, both seen and unseen.
Influence and Efficacy Beyond mere power, Prabhāva also conveys the idea of great influence, efficacy, and ability to manifest. It means he is the one whose will is immediately effective, whose presence brings about profound change, and whose blessings are unfailingly potent. He is the underlying efficacy of all actions and phenomena in the universe. Everything that moves, transforms, or comes into being is ultimately an expression of his Prabhāva.
Source of Light and Splendor The root "bhā" in Prabhāva also relates to light, shining, and splendor (as in Prabhā, meaning light or radiance). Thus, Prabhāve can also imply that Kalabhairava is the source of all spiritual light, knowledge, and inner radiance. He dispels the darkness of ignorance and illuminates the path to liberation for his devotees.
The name Prabhāve therefore reveres Kalabhairava as the absolute sovereign, the master of all existence, whose power is limitless, whose influence pervades everything, and whose very being is the source of all might and spiritual brilliance.
