Auf den eigenen Befehl Śivas und der göttlichen Göttin hin möge er mir mein Begehren gewähren. Er ist der Gaṇa namens Bhṛṅgīśa, ganz dem Gottesdienst an Herrn Śiva hingegeben.

FAQs
It emphasizes that fulfillment comes through the grace and sanction of the Divine Couple (Shiva with Shakti), and that those fully devoted to Shiva’s worship—like Bhṛṅgīśa—become instruments of that grace.
Bhṛṅgīśa is described as steadfast in Shiva-arādhana, which in Purāṇic Shaiva practice commonly includes Saguna worship such as Linga-pūjā, where divine grace is invoked and requests are offered in surrender.
A practical takeaway is to perform Shiva-arādhana with devotion—japa of the Panchākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), and simple Linga worship with offerings—seeking results only as permitted by Shiva and Shakti.
