Demikian pula Dharma dikutuk oleh Mahātmā Māṇḍavya; dan kaum Vṛṣṇi pun terkena kutuk—oleh Kṛṣṇa serta para mahāṛṣi seperti Durvāsā. Di bawah tata kelola Sang Pati, hukum karma berjalan tanpa meleset.

FAQs
It frames worldly events—boons, curses, and clan destinies—as unfolding within a higher cosmic order ultimately presided over by Shiva (Pati); Linga worship is presented as aligning the pashu (soul) with that governing Reality beyond fluctuating fortune.
While Shiva is not named directly, the verse implies an overarching, unfailing moral-causal governance: in Shaiva Siddhanta this is grounded in Shiva-tattva as Pati, the supreme regulator who allows karmic fruition without being tainted by it.
No specific rite is stated; the takeaway is ethical-yogic discipline—reducing pasha (bondage) by right conduct and devotion—supported by Linga-centered worship that stabilizes the mind in the Pati beyond karmic upheavals.
