FAQs

What is the importance of this verse in the context of Linga worship?

It frames creation as proceeding under Śiva (Pati) together with Devī (Śakti), implying that Linga worship honors the source from which all classes of beings—pure and impure—arise and are ultimately regulated.

How does this verse describe the nature of Shiva (Shiva-tattva)?

Śiva-tattva is implicit as Pati: the sovereign principle whose presence with Śakti enables manifestation of multiple ontological orders, while beings remain differentiated by their pāśa (bondage) and inherent dispositions.

What ritualistic or Yogic practice is highlighted here?

No specific rite is prescribed in this verse; the takeaway aligns with Pāśupata understanding that the yogin seeks the Pati principle beyond classes of beings, purifying pāśa through Śiva-oriented sādhana (japa, dhyāna, and Linga-pūjā).
