परस्य दुर्निर्णयः—षट्कुलीयमुनिविवादः तथा ब्रह्मदर्शनार्थं मेरुप्रयाणम् | The Dispute of the Six-Lineage Sages on the Supreme and Their Journey to Brahmā at Meru
इदं परमिदं नेति विवादस्सुमहानभूत् । परस्य दुर्निरूपत्वान्न जातस्तत्र निश्चयः
idaṃ paramidaṃ neti vivādassumahānabhūt | parasya durnirūpatvānna jātastatra niścayaḥ
ثم نشأ خلاف عظيم: قوم يقولون «هذا هو الأسمى»، وآخرون يقولون «كلا، ليس هذا». غير أنّه لم يُحسم الأمر هناك، لأنّ الأسمى، ربّ السادة (پَتي)، عسير التحديد ولا يُقَيَّد بوصفٍ مألوف.
Suta Goswami (narrating the Vāyavīyasaṃhitā discourse to the sages at Naimisharanya)
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Sadāśiva
It teaches that the Supreme Lord (Pati/Shiva) is beyond the reach of mere conceptual debate; certainty arises not from argument but from purification, devotion, and direct insight into Shiva’s reality.
Since the Supreme is hard to define in words, the Shiva Purana supports approaching Him through accessible sacred forms—especially the Shiva Linga—where saguna worship becomes a doorway to realizing the nirguna, indescribable Pati.
Shift from dispute to sadhana: japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), steady dhyana on Shiva (often through the Linga), and traditional Shaiva disciplines like bhasma/tripundra and rudraksha to stabilize devotion and inner clarity.
