Ayant entendu les paroles de Śambhu (le Seigneur Śiva), Kubera fut comblé de joie au cœur ; et, obéissant à Son ordre, il s’en alla avec allégresse vers sa propre demeure.

FAQs
It highlights the Shaiva Siddhanta principle that the soul (pashu) progresses by honoring the Lord (Pati) and following His ājñā; joy arises from alignment with Shiva’s will rather than from mere possession or status.
Śambhu is approached as Saguna Shiva—personal, speaking, and guiding; devotion matures when the devotee receives Shiva’s instruction with reverence, the same attitude cultivated in Linga worship through disciplined, obedient bhakti.
Practice inward “śravaṇa and anuṣṭhāna”: listen to Shiva’s teachings (scripture/mantra) and act accordingly—e.g., daily japa of the Panchākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) with a vow of obedience, humility, and purity.
