Kemudian jiwa individu (paśu) yang berjasad, setelah jatuh dari keadaan sebelumnya, digerakkan maju oleh sisa daya karmanya sendiri. Sesudah itu ia memasuki rahim yang dibentuk oleh Brahmā, tempat sperma dan darah menyatu; di bawah tata-perintah Pati (Śiva) serta ikatan pāśa, benih itu mulai mengambil rupa sebagai embrio.

FAQs
It frames embodiment as governed by karma and bondage (pāśa), implying that Linga worship is a means to purify karmic residues and reorient the paśu toward Pati (Śiva) for liberation.
Even while Brahmā is named as the arranger of the womb, the verse’s logic aligns with Shaiva Siddhanta: Śiva as Pati is the supreme regulator under whose order karma bears fruit and embodiment proceeds within cosmic law.
The implied practice is karmakṣaya and pāśa-kṣaya through Śiva-upāsanā—especially Linga-pūjā with mantra-japa and inner discipline (Pāśupata-oriented yoga) to weaken residual karmas that propel rebirth.
