ある者たちは歓喜して、光り輝く山の峰々を揺さぶり、かき乱し始めた。するとハラは自らの軍勢を思い起こし、怒りをもって軍を召集した――手にトリシューラ（三叉戟）を執る御方。

FAQs
The verse shows Saguna Śiva (Hara, Śūlapāṇi) acting as the cosmic protector: when disorder rises, He consciously marshals divine शक्ति through His hosts, restoring dharma—an outer battle mirroring the inner removal of egoic turbulence.
Śiva is praised here by epithets (Hara, Śūlapāṇi) that devotees contemplate while worshipping the Liṅga: the Liṅga is the stable center, and Saguna Śiva’s active grace is remembered as the force that removes बाधा (obstacles) and subdues adharma.
A practical takeaway is smaraṇa (remembrance) of Śiva in difficulty—repeating the Pañcākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” while mentally invoking Śiva as Hara/Śūlapāṇi to steady the mind and dispel inner agitation.
