पार्वतीवाक्यं—शिवस्य परब्रह्मत्व-निरूपणम्
Pārvatī’s Discourse: Establishing Śiva as Parabrahman
कल्याणरूपिणस्तस्य सेवयेह न किं भवेत् । किं न्यूनं तस्य देवस्य मामिच्छति सदाशिवः
kalyāṇarūpiṇastasya sevayeha na kiṃ bhavet | kiṃ nyūnaṃ tasya devasya māmicchati sadāśivaḥ
જેનુ સ્વરૂપ જ કલ્યાણ છે, તેની સેવા કરવાથી અહીં કયું શુભ ફળ ન થાય? તે દેવમાં શું ઉણપ છે કે સદાશિવ મને ઇચ્છે?

FAQs
It declares that Shiva is inherently kalyāṇa (pure auspiciousness), so sincere Shiva-sevā inevitably yields spiritual welfare—inner purification, removal of bondage, and readiness for Shiva’s grace.
Serving the auspicious Lord points to Saguna worship—approaching Shiva through accessible forms such as the Śiva-liṅga—where devotion becomes the means for receiving Sadāśiva’s compassionate choosing (anugraha).
The takeaway is steady Shiva-sevā: daily liṅga-pūjā with pañcākṣarī japa ("Om Namaḥ Śivāya") and a bhakti attitude, trusting that worship of the kalyāṇa-svarūpa Lord cannot be fruitless.
