Inquiry into the Supreme Self and Gendered Forms
अनुग्रहादिकृत्यानां हेतुः पञ्चकमिष्यते । तद्विद्भिर्मुनिभिः प्राज्ञैर्वरतत्त्वप्रदर्शिभिः

لأجل الأفعال الإلهية التي تبدأ بالنعمة (anugraha) وما يتبعها، يُقَرُّ بخماسيةٍ من الأسباب. وقد علّم ذلكَ مُنِيّون حكماء، عارفون بهذه المبادئ، كاشفون للحقيقة العُليا بشأن عطايا الربّ الأعلى وبركاته.

Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Sadāśiva
Role: liberating
It points to the Shaiva Siddhanta view that Shiva’s governance of the cosmos is intelligible through a fivefold causal framework, with anugraha (grace) as the decisive factor for liberation.
By grounding Shiva’s actions in a recognized doctrine, it supports Linga/Saguna worship as a means to align with Shiva’s grace—devotion and ritual become channels through which anugraha is received.
The practical takeaway is to seek anugraha through steady Shiva-upasana—japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), Linga-puja, and contemplative remembrance of Shiva as Pati, the bestower of grace.
