किं बहूक्तेन कुलजे तुभ्यं कुप्याम्यहं वृथा । तदाभ्यवहारिष्येहमुपयंस्याम्यहं यदा
kiṃ bahūktena kulaje tubhyaṃ kupyāmyahaṃ vṛthā | tadābhyavahāriṣyehamupayaṃsyāmyahaṃ yadā
फार बोलून काय उपयोग, हे कुलज! मी तुझ्यावर उगीचच रागावले आहे. जेव्हा तो काळ येईल, तेव्हा मी अन्न स्वीकारीन आणि तेव्हाच तुला पती म्हणूनही स्वीकारीन।

FAQs
The verse highlights Shiva’s mastery over reactive anger and his return to dharmic resolve—teaching that a devotee should abandon needless agitation, speak minimally, and act with steady intention aligned to truth.
As Saguna Shiva, the Lord models ideal conduct: compassion, self-restraint, and clarity of vow. Linga-worship similarly trains the mind to move from impulse (krodha) to steadiness (śānti) through daily reverence and remembrance.
A practical takeaway is japa with the Panchakshara (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) to cool anger and stabilize resolve; pairing it with Tripuṇḍra (bhasma) and simple sattvic discipline supports inner composure.
