The verse praises the supreme merit of Śiva-darśana: even Viṣṇu declares himself and his beloved “blessed” upon beholding Jagatpati, affirming Śiva as the Pati (Lord) whose grace grants auspiciousness and spiritual fulfillment.
It emphasizes Saguna Śiva—God encountered as the visible “Lord of the universe.” In Purāṇic Shaiva practice, such darśana is accessed through devotion and Linga-upāsanā, where the Linga serves as the sacred focus for receiving Śiva’s presence and grace.
The takeaway is to seek darśana through bhakti: perform Śiva-pūjā (especially Linga worship) with mantra-japa such as the Pañcākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” supported by purity and auspicious conduct, which the verse highlights as the condition of being “anagha” (untainted).
