ईश्वरागमनं हिमवदादि-समागमश्च / The Arrival of Īśvara and the Assembly of Himālaya, Devas, and Mountains
भूषाभूताहियुक्तांगमद्भुतावयवप्रभम् । दिव्यद्युतिं सुरेशैश्च सेवितं करचामरैः
bhūṣābhūtāhiyuktāṃgamadbhutāvayavaprabham | divyadyutiṃ sureśaiśca sevitaṃ karacāmaraiḥ
Su cuerpo estaba adornado con serpientes como ornamentos; cada miembro resplandecía con un esplendor maravilloso. Radiante de brillo divino, era atendido por los señores de los dioses, que lo abanicaban con chowries en la mano.

The verse highlights Shiva’s Saguna majesty: His serpent-ornaments and divine radiance signify mastery over fear, death, and worldly bondage, inspiring devotees to contemplate the Lord as the supreme Pati who grants grace and liberation.
It supports Saguna-upāsanā by describing Shiva’s visible, awe-inspiring form, which steadies devotion; the same supreme reality is worshiped as the Linga (aniconic) and as the radiant Lord (iconic), both leading the devotee toward Shiva’s saving grace.
Practice dhyāna (visual meditation) on Shiva’s luminous form while repeating the Panchākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” offering simple upacāras (like fanning, lamps, and water) in a spirit of sevā-bhakti.
