بعد أن نُجِلَّ أمر شيفا إجلالًا لائقًا، فليهب ملكُ الأشجار—المتألّق بعظمة التَّجَس، والرَّنان كالسحاب الجليل—الثمرةَ المنشودة (ثمرة الطقس والعبادة).

FAQs
It emphasizes that honoring Śiva’s ordinance (ājñā) is itself a form of bhakti; when devotion aligns with Śiva’s will, the sought-after fruit—worldly welfare and ultimately spiritual uplift—naturally manifests.
The verse points to Saguna devotion: following Śiva’s expressed command and seeking His grace for results. In Linga-worship, iṣṭa-phala is traditionally understood as arising from disciplined pūjā performed in accordance with Śaiva injunctions.
A practical takeaway is to perform Śiva-pūjā with strict reverence to prescribed rules—especially japa of the Pañcākṣarī (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) and offering with a prayer for iṣṭa-phala—placing the result at Śiva’s feet.
