Embryonic Condition, Bodily Transformation, and Instruction in Detachment
पित्तस्य कुडवं ज्ञेयं कफस्याथाढकं स्मृतम् । वसायाश्च पलं विंशत्तदर्धं कपिलस्य च
pittasya kuḍavaṃ jñeyaṃ kaphasyāthāḍhakaṃ smṛtam | vasāyāśca palaṃ viṃśattadardhaṃ kapilasya ca
ຄວນຮູ້ວ່າ ປິຕຕະ (pitta) ມີປະລິມານເທົ່າ kuḍava ໜຶ່ງ; ແລະ ກະຟະ (kapha) ຖືກຈື່ຈໍາວ່າເທົ່າ āḍhaka ໜຶ່ງ. ໄຂມັນ (vasā) ເທົ່າ 20 pala; ແລະຄື່ງໜຶ່ງຂອງນັ້ນແມ່ນສໍາລັບ “kapila” ຜິວສີນ້ໍາຕານ.

Shiva Form: Dakṣiṇāmūrti
Sthala Purana: No jyotirliṅga linkage; humoral measures (pitta/kapha/vasā) emphasize the body as a māyā-made composite, reinforcing the pāśa-framework of embodiment.
Significance: Promotes non-attachment and disciplined living; supports the Siddhānta view that liberation is not by perfecting the body but by Śiva-jñāna and anugraha.
It emphasizes precision and discipline in observance—outer exactness in measures mirrors inner exactness in sādhanā, supporting purity (śauca) and steadiness that aid devotion to Pati (Shiva) and liberation.
In Linga-worship, correct ritual procedure and purity are repeatedly praised; this verse reflects the Purāṇic insistence that devotional acts to Saguna Shiva be performed with careful adherence to prescribed standards.
A practical takeaway is disciplined observance (niyama): follow traditional injunctions precisely during Shiva worship—especially on Mahāśivarātri—along with mantra-japa (e.g., Om Namaḥ Śivāya) and purity practices where applicable.
