FAQs

What is the importance of this verse in the context of Linga worship?

It frames Shiva as Bhagavān Parameśvara—the supreme Pati—toward whom Devas and worlds move with joy, implying that Linga-worship culminates in approaching His living presence and receiving His grace (anugraha).

How does this verse describe the nature of Shiva (Shiva-tattva)?

Shiva is indicated as Parameśvara, the transcendent Lord who stands above all realms and devas; in Shaiva Siddhanta terms, He is Pati, the sovereign who can loosen pāśa (bondage) for the paśu (soul).

What ritualistic or Yogic practice is highlighted here?

The verse emphasizes devotional movement toward the Lord—an attitude central to Shiva-puja and to Pashupata-oriented discipline: gathering the mind and community toward Shiva to become fit for His anugraha.
