Praise of the Gift of the Cosmic Egg and Description of the Brahmāṇḍa’s Measure
तस्य वीर्यप्रभावश्च साकांक्षैस्त्रिदशैरपि । न हि वर्णयितुं शक्यः स्वरूपं ज्ञातुमेव वा
tasya vīryaprabhāvaśca sākāṃkṣaistridaśairapi | na hi varṇayituṃ śakyaḥ svarūpaṃ jñātumeva vā
તેમનું વીર્ય અને પ્રભાવ વર્ણવી શકાતાં નથી; જાણવાની ઇચ્છા ધરાવતા ત્રિદશ દેવો પણ તેમના સ્વરૂપને યથાર્થ રીતે જાણી શકતા નથી.

It affirms Śiva as Pati—the supreme Lord whose true nature transcends limited intellect and even divine categories; liberation arises through grace and devotion rather than mere conceptual knowledge.
Because Śiva’s svarūpa is beyond description (nirguṇa), devotees approach Him through accessible saguna supports like the Śiva-liṅga, names, and forms—symbols that lead the mind toward the transcendent.
Contemplate Śiva’s immeasurability while repeating the Pañcākṣarī (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) with humble surrender; let mantra-japa and liṅga-pūjā replace argumentative speculation.
