পুনরায় যখন তারা সম্পূর্ণ হয়, তখন সর্বদিকে দেহে বিস্তার লাভ করে। তখন নাড়ীর মধ্যস্থ প্রাণ-রস আত্মরূপে দেহে ব্যাপ্ত হয়ে দেহধারীর অন্তঃসার হয়ে ওঠে।

FAQs
It points to the Shaiva-yogic view that when inner energies mature and become balanced, the life-essence (rasa/prāṇa) stabilizes in the nāḍī-system and pervades the whole body, making the sādhaka fit for Shiva-realization (Pati-jñāna) beyond bondage (pāśa).
Linga-worship is paired with inner purification: as devotion and discipline refine the subtle channels, the practitioner’s embodied awareness becomes a proper vessel to meditate on Saguna Shiva in the Linga and gradually turn inward toward the supreme reality of Shiva.
A practical takeaway is nāḍī-śuddhi (breath regulation) combined with japa of Shiva-mantra (especially the Panchākṣarī, “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”), supporting the harmonization of prāṇa so it can pervade the body steadily for meditation.
