It presents Shiva’s grace as the remover of duḥkha (bondage-born sorrow) and the giver of divya-jñāna, by which the soul moves toward the Siddhānta goal: freedom from pāśa and steadiness in the light of Pati (Shiva).
Such blessings are traditionally sought through Saguna Shiva worship—especially Linga-pūjā—where devotion, purity, and right understanding mature into jñāna and inner tejas, culminating in Shiva’s anugraha (saving grace).
Regular Shiva-upāsanā with the Panchākṣarī mantra ("Om Namaḥ Śivāya") and meditative contemplation on Shiva as the dispeller of sorrow supports the cultivation of tejas and the awakening of divya-jñāna.
