FAQs

What is the importance of this verse in the context of Linga worship?

It establishes the narration as an authoritative transmission (yathāśrutam) of Deva-deva Śiva’s account, grounding later teachings on liṅga and pūjā in a faithfully preserved tradition.

How does this verse describe the nature of Shiva (Shiva-tattva)?

By calling Śiva “Deva-deva” and “dhīmat,” it points to Śiva as Pati—the supreme Lord and conscious principle who illumines and governs the devas, distinct from bound pashus under pāśa.

What ritualistic or Yogic practice is highlighted here?

No specific rite is prescribed in this line; it functions as an upasaṃhāra (concluding assurance) that the preceding Shaiva doctrine—often including liṅga-pūjā and Pāśupata-oriented liberation themes—has been conveyed accurately.
