He, in His complete form, is ever worthy of my worship and is the fulfiller of all your aims. He is the agent of dissolution, the Lord over the guṇas, the attributeless Absolute, and the bestower of right Yoga (true union).

FAQs
The verse proclaims Shiva as both the complete worship-worthy Reality and the transcendent, attributeless Lord who governs the guṇas and grants true Yoga—showing that devotion to Shiva leads to right inner union and liberation.
By calling Shiva “pūrṇarūpa” (complete form) and “pūjya” (worthy of worship), it supports Saguna worship—such as Linga-pūjā—while also affirming that the same Shiva is ultimately nirviśeṣa (beyond attributes), harmonizing form-worship with the highest truth.
A practical takeaway is steady Shiva-pūjā with bhakti and yogic recollection—meditating on Shiva as the inner Lord beyond the guṇas; this aligns well with japa of the Panchākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) as a means to “suyoga” (right union).
