यदेकमव्ययं साक्षाद्ब्रह्मज्योतिः सनातनम् । शिवात्मकं परं तत्त्वं रुद्राध्याये प्रतिष्ठितम्
yadekamavyayaṃ sākṣādbrahmajyotiḥ sanātanam | śivātmakaṃ paraṃ tattvaṃ rudrādhyāye pratiṣṭhitam

Muni (continuing instruction to the king)
Scene: Aniconic vision of the ‘brahmajyotis’: a vast, steady radiance within which a subtle Śiva-principle is intuited; a sage recites Rudrādhyāya before a liṅga or sacred fire, suggesting ‘pratiṣṭhā’ of the supreme in mantra.
