Worship of Gajānana and the Procedure of Aupāsana-Homa
इत्येवं संविचार्य्याथ गायत्रीं प्रजपेत्सुधीः । आदिदेवीं च त्रिपदां ब्राह्मणत्वादिदामजाम्
ityevaṃ saṃvicāryyātha gāyatrīṃ prajapetsudhīḥ | ādidevīṃ ca tripadāṃ brāhmaṇatvādidāmajām
इस प्रकार विचार कर, सुधी साधक गायत्री का जप करे—जो आदिदेवी है, त्रिपदा है, और अज (अजन्मा) होकर ब्राह्मणत्व आदि का मूल कारण है।

It teaches that mantra-sādhana should follow clear discernment: after proper reflection and right understanding, the seeker practices Gāyatrī-japa as a purifying, illumining discipline that supports the soul’s approach to Pati (Śiva).
In the Shaiva path, disciplined japa and purity of intellect prepare the devotee for effective Śiva-upāsanā—whether through Liṅga worship (saguna focus) or contemplation of Śiva as the supreme Lord beyond attributes (nirguna).
Regular Gāyatrī-japa after thoughtful contemplation (saṃvicāra); it implies a daily mantra discipline as part of Śaiva sādhanā, supportive of purity, steadiness, and meditative readiness.
