The verse catalogs mighty astras to show that all powers—whether associated with Nārāyaṇa, Brahmā, or other cosmic forces—ultimately operate within the Lord’s cosmic order; in Shaiva Siddhanta, the highest refuge is Paśupati (Śiva), the Lord of all beings and their bonds.
By naming the Pāśupata weapon, the text points to Śiva’s saguna sovereignty as Paśupati; Linga-worship centers the devotee on that same Lord whose manifested power governs and transcends all worldly force.
Rather than imitating external power, the takeaway is inner surrender: steady japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) and wearing Tripuṇḍra (bhasma) as a reminder that Śiva’s grace—not aggression—is the true conqueror of bondage.
