It highlights Śiva’s humility and dharmic pedagogy: even when the Divine Mother already knows, sacred teaching is still spoken to uphold right conduct (ācāra) and to establish a model for devotees—knowledge transmitted with reverence becomes a means toward purification and grace.
By stressing jagad-ācāra (proper tradition), the verse supports the Purāṇic principle that Saguna worship—such as Linga-pūjā performed with scriptural etiquette, mantra, and devotion—creates steadiness of mind and qualifies the seeker for deeper realization of Śiva as the supreme Pati.
The takeaway is adherence to prescribed ācāra in worship: approach Śiva-pūjā with respectful recitation (kathana/śravaṇa), disciplined routine, and devotional sincerity—supporting practices may include mantra-japa (e.g., the Pañcākṣarī) performed in a traditional, orderly manner.
