काम्यकर्मविभागः — Taxonomy of Kāmya (Desire-Motivated) Śaiva Rites
उपमन्युरुवाच । अस्त्यैहिकफलं किञ्चिदामुष्मिकफलं तथा । ऐहिकामुष्मिकञ्चापि तच्च पञ्चविधं पुनः

Upamanyu berkata: “Ada buah (hasil) yang bersifat duniawi (kehidupan ini), dan ada pula buah yang bersifat alam baka (sesudah kehidupan ini). Ada juga buah yang mencakup keduanya; dan itu pun kembali terbagi menjadi lima macam.”
Upamanyu
Tattva Level: pashu
It classifies the outcomes (phala) of practice into worldly, otherworldly, and mixed results—preparing the listener to value Shiva-oriented sādhana that culminates not merely in pleasures, but in liberation (moksha) through Pati’s grace.
Linga-worship commonly yields a spectrum of phalas: immediate well-being (aihika), post-death merit and higher realms (āmuṣmika), and a mixed set—yet the Vāyavīya teaching ultimately directs devotees to seek Shiva not only for results but for release from pāśa (bondage).
The verse signals a results-based framework for sādhana; in Shaiva practice this is typically pursued through regular Shiva-pūjā and japa (e.g., the Panchakshara mantra “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”), aiming to move from mixed/worldly aims toward moksha-oriented devotion.
