नारदमोहवर्णनम् — Description of Nārada’s Delusion
स्वस्थानं जग्मतुर्विप्रा उदासीनौ शिवस्तुतिम् । चक्रतुर्मन्यमानौ वै शिवेच्छां सकलां सदा
svasthānaṃ jagmaturviprā udāsīnau śivastutim | cakraturmanyamānau vai śivecchāṃ sakalāṃ sadā
Ces sages brahmanes retournèrent dans leur propre demeure, restant détachés ; et ils entonnèrent des hymnes à la louange de Śiva, considérant toujours que tout, dans sa totalité, ne procède que par la volonté de Śiva.

It teaches udāsīnatā (inner detachment) joined with bhakti: the wise live without clinging and interpret all events as governed by Śiva’s all-pervading will, which steadies the mind and supports liberation.
By emphasizing śivastuti (praise), it aligns with Saguna devotion—approaching Śiva through worship and hymn—while the insight “all is by Śiva’s will” points to His supreme lordship beyond limited forms, a core Shaiva Siddhanta orientation.
Regular Śiva-stuti and japa with surrender (śaraṇāgati)—such as repeating the Panchākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” while contemplating that outcomes rest in Śiva-icchā—cultivates detachment and devotion.
