Praṇava-Māhātmya and the Twofold Mantra (Sūkṣma–Sthūla) in Śaiva Sādhanā
समाधिस्थो महायोगीशिव एव न संशयः । ऋषिच्छंदोदेवतादि न्यस्य देहेपुनर्जपेत्
samādhistho mahāyogīśiva eva na saṃśayaḥ | ṛṣicchaṃdodevatādi nyasya dehepunarjapet
സമാധിസ്ഥനായ മഹായോഗി നിശ്ചയമായും ശിവൻ തന്നെയാണ്—ഇതിൽ സംശയമില്ല. ഋഷി, ഛന്ദസ്, ദേവത മുതലായവയുടെ ന്യാസം ദേഹത്തിൽ ചെയ്ത്, വീണ്ടും ജപം ചെയ്യണം.

It teaches that deep absorption (samādhi) culminates in Śiva-consciousness: the perfected yogin realizes identity with Śiva, while continuing disciplined mantra-practice grounded in śāstric method.
Nyāsa and japa are Saguna, ritual-structured supports that purify the body-mind and steady devotion; through them, the seeker ripens toward the inner realization of Śiva beyond limitation, which is the fruit of Linga-worship and Shaiva sādhana.
Perform mantra-nyāsa (ṛṣi–chandas–devatā, etc.) on the body, then resume japa—ideally with steady dhyāna/samādhi—so the mantra becomes embodied and contemplative rather than merely verbal.
