शिवेच्छया न प्रबुद्धः स्मृत्वा हरिकृतच्छलम् । क्रोधं दुर्विषहं कृत्वा विष्णुलोकं जगाम ह

ដោយព្រះឆន្ទៈរបស់ព្រះសិវៈ គាត់មិនបានភ្ញាក់ដឹងឡើយ; ហើយពេលនឹកឃើញល្បិចដែលហរិ (ព្រះវិស្ណុ) បានរៀបចំ គាត់បានបង្កើតកំហឹងដ៏មិនអាចទ្រាំទ្រ ហើយបន្ទាប់មកបានទៅកាន់លោកវិស្ណុ។

The verse emphasizes Śiva-icchā (Śiva’s sovereign will): even awakening and reaction occur within the governance of Pati (Śiva). In a Shaiva Siddhanta lens, this underlines that cosmic events—including conflict—unfold under divine order, not mere personal impulse.
By highlighting Śiva’s will as the hidden regulator, the verse points to Saguna Śiva as the accessible Lord who actively directs the cosmos. Linga-worship trains the devotee to see beyond surface events (like ‘deception’ and ‘anger’) to the deeper presence of Śiva as the inner ruler.
A practical takeaway is anger-transformation through japa and restraint: daily Panchākṣarī japa ("Om Namaḥ Śivāya") with Tripuṇḍra (bhasma) remembrance helps sublimate krodha into vigilance and devotion, aligning one’s will with Śiva-icchā.
