Praṇava-Māhātmya and the Twofold Mantra (Sūkṣma–Sthūla) in Śaiva Sādhanā
समाधिस्थो महायोगीशिव एव न संशयः । ऋषिच्छंदोदेवतादि न्यस्य देहेपुनर्जपेत्
samādhistho mahāyogīśiva eva na saṃśayaḥ | ṛṣicchaṃdodevatādi nyasya dehepunarjapet
Establecido en samādhi, el gran Yogin es en verdad Śiva, sin duda alguna. Habiendo realizado en su cuerpo el nyāsa del ṛṣi, del chandas, de la devatā y lo demás, debe repetir de nuevo (el mantra) en japa.

It teaches that deep absorption (samādhi) culminates in Śiva-consciousness: the perfected yogin realizes identity with Śiva, while continuing disciplined mantra-practice grounded in śāstric method.
Nyāsa and japa are Saguna, ritual-structured supports that purify the body-mind and steady devotion; through them, the seeker ripens toward the inner realization of Śiva beyond limitation, which is the fruit of Linga-worship and Shaiva sādhana.
Perform mantra-nyāsa (ṛṣi–chandas–devatā, etc.) on the body, then resume japa—ideally with steady dhyāna/samādhi—so the mantra becomes embodied and contemplative rather than merely verbal.
