वह इसी लोक में समस्त सिद्धि प्राप्त करता है, जो सभी शुभ कामनाओं को पूर्ण करती है। और अंत में वह निश्चय ही सायुज्य-मुक्ति—भगवान शिव से एकत्व—प्राप्त करता है; इसमें संदेह नहीं।

FAQs
It teaches the Shaiva principle that sincere devotion to Śiva yields both dharmic worldly fulfillment (aihikī siddhi) and the highest end—liberation as union with Śiva (sāyujya-mukti).
In the Koṭirudrasaṃhitā (Jyotirliṅga-focused), the promise of worldly success and final liberation is tied to Saguna worship—approaching Śiva through Liṅga-devotion that purifies the devotee and culminates in Śiva’s grace.
The takeaway is steady Śiva-upāsanā—especially Jyotirliṅga/Liṅga worship with mantra-japa (e.g., Pañcākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”), offered with devotion for purification and liberation.
