«C’est pourquoi, ô dieux, souvenez-vous aussitôt de Śiva — plus haut que le haut, au-delà même de l’au-delà ; transcendant toute transcendance, dont la nature est la béatitude suprême ; objet de contemplation pour les yogins, libre de toute projection du monde et sans forme.»

FAQs

Śiva is the ultimate refuge—transcendent, bliss-natured, and the yogic object of meditation—invoked especially when the world’s poisons arise.

The verse is theological praise within Kedārakhaṇḍa; it supports the Shaiva sanctity of the Kedāra milieu without naming a particular spot here.

Smaraṇa (remembrance) of Śiva and yogic contemplation are prescribed as the immediate remedy.
