FAQs

It establishes Śiva (the Linga’s reality) as the primal cause from whom even the highest cosmic powers arise, making Linga-pūjā worship of the ultimate Pati rather than a mere deity among others.

Śiva-tattva is presented as the originating ground of all orders of beings—celestial, demonic, and human—showing His supremacy as Pati, while all embodied beings function as paśus within His manifested universe.

The verse supports a Pāśupata perspective: contemplation (dhyāna) on Śiva as the universal cause, which becomes the inner basis for Linga-pūjā and for loosening pāśa (bondage) through right knowledge of Pati.
