おお苦行の女よ、成すべき務めのために、われは汝のためこれを整えた。ゆえに、幸い大いなる者よ、そのとおりに行い、あの大牟尼のヤジュニャ（祭祀）へ赴け。彼女に益あることを告げ終えると、神々の主（シヴァ）はその場で忽然と姿を隠した。

FAQs

It highlights Śiva as the compassionate Pati (Lord) who guides the devotee toward the right course of action; once His instruction is given, He remains subtly present even if He outwardly disappears.

Śiva here acts as Saguna—the personal Lord who speaks, directs, and protects—showing that devotion includes listening to His guidance and aligning one’s actions with His will.

The takeaway is disciplined obedience (ājñā-pālana) and inward remembrance of Śiva while engaging in dharmic duties—mentally repeating “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” to keep the mind anchored in the Lord.
