पञ्चावरणमार्गस्थं योगेश्वरस्तोत्रम्
Pañcāvaraṇa-mārga Stotra to Yogeśvara Śiva
भक्त्या मयार्चितो मह्यं प्रार्थितं शं प्रयच्छतु । सदाशिवांकमारूढा शक्तिरिच्छा शिवाह्वया
bhaktyā mayārcito mahyaṃ prārthitaṃ śaṃ prayacchatu | sadāśivāṃkamārūḍhā śaktiricchā śivāhvayā
ज्याची मी भक्तिभावाने पूजा केली व ज्याला प्रार्थना केली, तो मंगलमय शंभू मला कल्याण देवो. सदाशिवांच्या अंकावर आरूढ ‘शिवा’ नावाने प्रसिद्ध अशी इच्छाशक्ती विराजते.

It affirms that Shiva’s grace is invoked through bhakti and prayer, and teaches the Shaiva Siddhanta insight that Shiva (Pati) and Śakti are inseparable—Icchā-śakti (the power of divine will) abides in intimate union with Sadāśiva, from whom auspiciousness (śam) flows.
Linga worship is a saguna focus that channels devotion toward the transcendent Sadāśiva; this verse highlights that the devotee’s prayer seeks śam through Shiva’s gracious response, while recognizing Shiva’s dynamic aspect as Śakti—especially Icchā-śakti—active in the manifest world.
A simple practice is heartfelt arcana (worship) with bhakti, followed by prayer for śam (peace) and japa of the Panchakshara “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” meditating on Sadāśiva united with Śivā (Icchā-śakti) as the source of auspicious transformation.
