FAQs

It teaches a Shaiva Siddhanta-style inner practice: discern the soul’s bondage (mala) and the spread of reality through tattvas, then perform an inner “offering” that dissolves bondage and awakens the soul’s divine faculties (kalās) toward liberation under Śiva’s grace.

In Linga-worship and Saguna Śiva-upāsanā, the meditator recognizes Śiva as the all-pervading Pati beyond mala and tattvas; this verse frames that recognition as vyāpti-dhyāna and inner oblation—offering limitations into the presence of Śiva symbolized by the Linga.

A meditative ‘inner homa’: contemplate pervasion from mala through tattvas, mentally offer the kalā-vyāpti into mala (dissolving bonds), and kindle the kalās—supported by japa (e.g., Om Namaḥ Śivāya) and focused dhyāna on Śiva as the indwelling Reality.
