ब्रह्मा च्रेअतेस् १० सोन्स्; थेय् गेत् पोwएर् फ़्रोम् शिव सिसृक्षमाणो लोकान्वै त्रीनशक्तो ऽसहायवान् दश ब्रह्मा ससर्जादौ मानसानमितौजसः
Brahmā creates 10 sons; they get power from Śiva sisṛkṣamāṇo lokānvai trīnaśakto 'sahāyavān daśa brahmā sasarjādau mānasānamitaujasaḥ
Dengan hasrat menzahirkan tiga alam, Brahmā—tanpa daya dan tanpa sandaran—pada permulaan mencipta sepuluh putera lahir daripada minda, bersinar dengan keagungan yang tiada terukur. Keupayaan mereka untuk berkarya dalam penciptaan timbul melalui anugerah pemerkasaan Śiva, Sang Pati, yang menjadikan penzahiran itu mungkin.

FAQs
It grounds creation itself in Śiva’s enabling power (anugraha-śakti), implying that worship of the Linga honors the supreme Pati from whom all cosmic functions—creation included—receive their efficacy.
Śiva is implied as Pati—the sovereign reality whose śakti empowers even Brahmā; without that support, the creator is ‘aśakta’ (incapable), highlighting Shiva-tattva as the ultimate source of agency and order.
The takeaway aligns with Pāśupata orientation: effective action (karma) and spiritual progress for the paśu depends on surrender to Pati; in practice this supports Linga-pūjā with bhakti and reliance on Śiva’s grace rather than mere personal effort.
