विष्णु-ब्रह्म-विवाद-वर्णनम्
Description of the Viṣṇu–Brahmā Dispute and Brahmā’s Confusion
तदा वाणी समुत्पन्ना तपेति परमा शुभा । शिवेच्छया परा व्योम्नो मोहविध्वंसिनी मुने
tadā vāṇī samutpannā tapeti paramā śubhā | śivecchayā parā vyomno mohavidhvaṃsinī mune
ពេលនោះ សំឡេងទេវីដ៏ប្រសើរបំផុត និងជាមង្គលយ៉ាងខ្លាំង បានកើតឡើងថា «ចូរធ្វើតបស (ការប្រកាន់អាស្កេស)»។ ដោយព្រះឆន្ទៈរបស់ព្រះសិវៈ វាបានលេចចេញពីមេឃខ្ពស់បំផុត ហើយឱ មុនី វាជាអ្នកបំផ្លាញមោហៈ។
Sūta Gosvāmin (narrating to the sages at Naimiṣāraṇya)
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Sadāśiva
Mantra: tapa iti
Type: stotra
Role: teaching
Cosmic Event: Transcendent ‘vyoman’ voice as supramundane revelation interrupting delusion
It teaches that true spiritual progress begins when Śiva’s grace awakens the inner command for tapas—disciplined practice that destroys moha (ignorance/delusion) and aligns the soul with the Supreme.
The divine voice arises by Śiva’s will, indicating Saguna Śiva’s compassionate guidance in the world; tapas and worship of the Liṅga together purify the devotee and make the mind fit to realize the transcendent (parā) Śiva.
The verse directly points to tapas: adopting disciplined japa (especially the Pañcākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”), vrata/fasting, and purity practices that reduce delusion and steady devotion.
