विरोधियौगपद्यैककर्तृके च तथा द्वयम् । परब्रह्मणि शंभो तु कर्मर्च्छंति न किंचन
virodhiyaugapadyaikakartṛke ca tathā dvayam | parabrahmaṇi śaṃbho tu karmarcchaṃti na kiṃcana
परब्रह्म शंभूमध्ये कर्माला चिकटण्यास कसलाही अवकाश नाही—विरोधी गुणधर्मांची चर्चा असो, एकाच वेळी क्रिया असो, एक कर्ता मानला जावो किंवा द्वैताची कल्पना असो; यांपैकी काहीही त्यांना लागू पडत नाही।

It teaches that Parabrahman Śiva is beyond all limiting categories—opposites, simultaneity, and doerhood—so karmic bondage cannot adhere to Him; liberation comes by realizing and worshipping that transcendent Shiva-tattva.
The Liṅga is revered as the sign of the formless Parabrahman; Saguna worship (name, form, mantra) is a compassionate means to approach the Nirguna reality that is ultimately untouched by karma and duality.
Meditate on Śiva as the witness beyond doership while repeating the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya); offer worship to the Liṅga with the intent of surrendering egoic agency, which is the root of karmic binding.
