Educational Q&A
The verse grounds Śiva’s very name in ethical meaning: he is called ‘Śiva’ because he actively seeks the welfare and uplift of human beings and intends the good of all.
Vāyu is explaining the significance of Śiva’s epithets—why he is known as ‘Śiva’ (beneficent) and, by traditional description, as ‘Dhūrjaṭi’ due to the smoke-hued appearance of his matted locks—linking divine names to qualities and beneficent action.
