Así como aquí los luminares—el Sol, la Luna y los demás planetas—se mueven en sus órbitas ordenadas, como recintos sagrados de los dioses, así ahora declararé el triple origen de Agni. Este orden del cosmos procede bajo el señorío de Pati (Śiva), mientras los paśu (almas) lo experimentan según su paśa (atadura) y su mérito.
Suta Goswami (narrating to the sages of Naimisharanya)
FAQs
It frames cosmic order—sun, moon, and planetary cycles—as sacred, regulated movement, implying that Linga worship aligns the worshipper with Śiva as Pati, the governor of cosmic rhythm and ritual time.
By presenting an ordered cosmos and then introducing Agni’s threefold origin, the verse implies a higher governing intelligence—Śiva-tattva as Pati—within which elements and luminaries function; pashus experience this order through the constraints of pasha.
The focus on Agni’s origin points toward Agni-centered Vedic ritual (homa) as a Shaiva-supportive practice; yogically, it supports Pāśupata discipline of attuning one’s inner ‘fire’ (tapas) to the cosmic law upheld by Śiva.
