पशु-पाश-पतिविचारः / Inquiry into Paśu, Pāśa, and Pati
विश्वतश्चक्षुरेवायमुतायं विश्वतोमुखः । तथैव विश्वतोबाहुविश्वतः पादसंयुतः
viśvataścakṣurevāyamutāyaṃ viśvatomukhaḥ | tathaiva viśvatobāhuviśvataḥ pādasaṃyutaḥ
その御眼はあらゆる方にあり、まことにその御面もまたあらゆる方にある。同じくその御腕はあらゆる方にあり、四方に御足を具えたまう—かくして遍満する主(パティ)は、宇宙の内なる統御者として全宇宙に遍在する。
Suta Goswami
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Mahādeva
It teaches Shiva’s omnipresence and omniscience: the Lord as Pati pervades all directions, seeing and sustaining all, guiding the bound soul (paśu) toward liberation by His grace.
Though the Liṅga appears localized for worship, it signifies the all-pervading Shiva; the devotee honors the visible Saguna symbol while realizing the same Lord is present everywhere as the inner ruler.
During japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), meditate that Shiva is ‘all-eyed and all-faced’—present in every direction—supporting dhyāna, Tripuṇḍra-bhasma remembrance, and steady inward devotion.
