Viṣṇu’s Hymn and the Petition for Śiva–Satī’s Protection
शिरोग्रीवादिभेदेन यथैकस्यैव वर्ष्मणः । अंगानि ते तथेशस्य तस्य भगत्रयं हर
śirogrīvādibhedena yathaikasyaiva varṣmaṇaḥ | aṃgāni te tatheśasya tasya bhagatrayaṃ hara
一つの身体が、頭や首などの区別によって諸部分を持つと言われるように、同じく、ハラよ、その主の肢分（相）もそのように理解される。まことに、その三重の神的卓越（バガ・トラヤ）はこのように認識されるべきである。

FAQs
It teaches that although Shiva is one (non-dual in essence), He can be understood through distinguishable aspects—like limbs of one body—so devotees can contemplate His powers and attain clarity in devotion and knowledge.
Linga worship centers on the One Lord beyond limitation, yet approached through sacred signs, names, and attributes. This verse legitimizes that approach: the One is worshipped through discernible aspects without denying His essential unity.
A practical takeaway is aṅga-bhāvanā (contemplation of the Lord’s aspects) alongside japa of the Panchakshara “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” mentally honoring Shiva’s divine excellences while maintaining awareness of His oneness.
