FAQs
By describing the orderly appointment of rulers over the dvīpas, the verse supports the Purāṇic theme that cosmic order (ṛta/dharma) is upheld under the supreme Pati—Śiva—making stable governance a reflection of the same order honored through Liṅga-pūjā.
Although Śiva is not named directly, the narrative implies Shiva-tattva as the transcendent Pati whose will underlies creation’s administration—souls (paśu) flourish when worldly structures are aligned with dharma, reducing pasha-like disorder and enabling spiritual orientation toward liberation.
No specific pūjā-vidhi or Pāśupata-yoga limb is stated; the takeaway is dharmic stewardship—supporting yajña, temple/śiva-sthāna maintenance, and righteous rule—as a practical foundation that aids the paśu’s progression toward Śiva.
