देवगुरुप्रेषणम्
Himālaya Mission of the Gods’ Preceptor / The Gods Send Their Guru
तत्र गत्वा शिवं दृष्ट्वा प्रणम्य नतमस्तकाः । सुकृतांजलयस्सर्वे तुष्टुवुस्तं सुरा हरम्
tatra gatvā śivaṃ dṛṣṭvā praṇamya natamastakāḥ | sukṛtāṃjalayassarve tuṣṭuvustaṃ surā haram
Going there and beholding Lord Śiva, the devas bowed with lowered heads. With hands reverently joined in añjali, they all praised Hara—Śiva, the remover of bondage and sorrow.
Sūta Gosvāmin (narrating to the sages at Naimiṣāraṇya)
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Mahadeva
It presents the Shaiva Siddhanta mood of approach to Pati (Śiva): humility (nata-mastaka), surrender (praṇāma), and devotion (stuti). Such reverent turning toward Śiva is shown as the doorway by which His grace removes pāśa (bondage).
The verse highlights Saguna-upāsanā—meeting Śiva through visible presence (darśana) and responding with añjali and praise. The same devotional posture applies in Liṅga worship: approaching the manifest symbol of Śiva with reverence and stotra to invoke His anugraha (grace).
Perform darśana with namaskāra and añjali, then offer stuti or japa (such as the Pañcākṣarī, “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) in a bowed, surrendered state—treating Śiva as Hara, the remover of inner sorrow and bondage.
