It frames worship as a direct plea for Śiva’s prasāda (grace), implying that realization and auspiciousness in Linga-upāsanā arise primarily from the Pati’s favor rather than from mere ritual performance.
Śiva is praised as Devadeveśa and Parameśvara (supreme sovereign), Jagannātha (cosmic Lord), and Avyaya Ānandada—unchanging reality who alone bestows enduring bliss, aligning with Shaiva Siddhānta’s Pati as the transcendent source of anugraha (saving grace).
The key practice is stuti and śaraṇāgati (devotional surrender): repeated “prasīda” functions as a mantra-like supplication, emphasizing that Pāśupata-oriented liberation depends on Śiva’s anugraha that loosens pāśa (bondage) upon the paśu (soul).
