Sthala Purana: Not a Jyotirliṅga origin; the verse highlights Śiva’s royal-divine hospitality—honoring emissaries ‘yathocitam’—a hallmark of the Lord’s anugraha expressed through dhārmic conduct.
Significance: Śiva’s honoring of devotees/guests models satkāra as sacred: receiving those connected to Śiva’s work is itself meritorious and grace-bearing.
FAQs
It highlights that when the Lord (Pati) properly honours beings, their hearts become filled with prīti (devotional joy), and they naturally move toward sacred proximity—symbolized here by approaching the holy mountain—showing how grace draws the soul toward auspiciousness.
The verse reflects Saguna Shiva’s compassionate lordship: He actively bestows fitting honour and guidance, which ripens bhakti and leads devotees toward holy places and sanctified presence—key supports for Linga-worship and Purāṇic devotional practice.
The takeaway is reverent conduct and pilgrimage-minded devotion: approach Shiva’s sacred abode/space with prīti and propriety, supported by daily bhakti such as japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) and respectful hospitality toward devotees.
