क्षणमात्रं विचार्य्येत्थं संपूज्य गिरिजां ततः । प्रबुद्धस्य महायोगी सुविरक्तो जगाविति
kṣaṇamātraṃ vicāryyetthaṃ saṃpūjya girijāṃ tataḥ | prabuddhasya mahāyogī suvirakto jagāviti
Setelah merenung demikian hanya seketika, baginda pun memuliakan Girijā (Pārvatī) dengan sewajarnya. Sesudah itu, Mahāyogin yang telah terjaga sepenuhnya dan sangat tidak terikat pada dunia pun berkata demikian.

FAQs
It highlights the Shaiva ideal that true speech and instruction arise from inner awakening (prabodha) and firm detachment (vairāgya), preceded by reverent worship—here, honoring Girijā as Śiva’s divine Śakti.
Though the Liṅga is not named here, the sequence—brief contemplation followed by proper worship—mirrors Saguna-upāsanā in the Shiva Purana, where devotion and ritual reverence prepare the mind for higher yogic insight.
A short reflective pause (manana) before pūjā is implied—centering the mind, then offering worship with devotion; it can be paired with Panchākṣarī japa (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) as a practical takeaway.
