Shloka 33
दैत्योरगैश्च भुज्यंते पाताले वै सुखानि च । तपसा समवाप्नोति दानवैस्सिद्धमानवैः
daityoragaiśca bhujyaṃte pātāle vai sukhāni ca | tapasā samavāpnoti dānavaissiddhamānavaiḥ
パーターラ（地下界）では、ダイティヤたちや蛇の一族もまた、まことに安楽を享受する。だがその同じ到達は、ダーナヴァたちと成就した人（シッダ・マーナヴァ）によって、タパス（苦行）により得られる。
Suta Goswami
Tattva Level: pasha
Sthala Purana: Cosmographic-ethical note: even ‘pleasant’ netherworld enjoyments are karmically conditioned; tapas can yield siddhis/attainments, yet these remain within māyā unless oriented to Śiva’s grace.
Significance: Instructional: warns that tapas aimed at bhoga/siddhi can still bind; in Siddhānta, liberation requires Pati’s anugraha and right knowledge, not mere austerity.
Role: teaching
Cosmic Event: Cosmography of Pātāla as a karmaphala-bhoga realm (non-apocalyptic).
FAQs
The verse contrasts mere enjoyment (even in exalted realms like Pātāla) with true attainment earned through tapas—disciplined transformation that, in Shaiva thought, weakens pāśa (bondage) and turns the mind toward Pati (Śiva) rather than pleasure.
Linga/Saguna-Śiva worship is traditionally supported by tapas such as vrata, japa, and restraint; the verse underscores that higher results are not accidental but are reached through sustained discipline, which makes devotion steady and fit for Śiva’s grace.
Tapas can be practiced as Mahāśivarātri-style vrata (fasting and night vigil), Panchākṣarī japa ("Om Namaḥ Śivāya"), and simple daily disciplines like Tripuṇḍra-bhasma and Rudrākṣa wearing with focused meditation.
