The current version seems to have a corruption in area indicted in red. None of the printed or manuscript copies that I have accessed allow correction of this.
The vibhUti strotraM begins with the mantras known as pa~nchAkSharI vibhavas. These are the mantra-s typical of the lAkulIsha-pAshupata school and differ in structure from those typical of the mantra-mArga school (“classical tantric mantras”). Then it enters a section of the leaders of various categories that are appointed by rudra. It finally concludes by stating that even as the leaders of each of these categories have been narrated so is maheshvara the lord of the universe. The chapter 1.158 of the li~Nga purANa states that shiva anointed the leaders of these categories and gives the above list. These categories and their leaders are closely related to the vibhUtis of viShNu narrated by kR^iShNa devakIputra in the bhagavad gItA. This suggests that there was such “vibhUti” list prevalent amongst the hindus.
