FAQs
This is a concluding colophon that seals the chapter’s teaching: Śiva’s darśana is presented as compassionate grace (anugraha) that consoles the devotee and reorients the mind toward devotion and liberation.
Though not naming the Liṅga directly, the chapter title emphasizes Śiva’s accessible, saguna revelation through darśana—central to Purāṇic worship where the devotee approaches Śiva through form, presence, and grace.
The implied takeaway is darśana-oriented bhakti: steady remembrance of Śiva, prayer for his grace, and contemplative focus on his compassionate presence—often supported in Śaiva practice by mantra-japa (e.g., “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”).
