Dia tidak terperikan, tidak berubah, Ātman Tertinggi—tidak berdua dan tidak tergugurkan. Dia tiada bertepi, pembawa pengakhiran (segala sesuatu), Tuhan dan Penguasa, meliputi segalanya, Yang Mahatinggi—Śiva sebagai Pati, melampaui batas namun hadir dalam semua.

FAQs
It establishes Śiva as Parameśvara—beyond speech and change, non-dual, infinite, and the cosmic dissolver—pointing the seeker toward liberation through recognizing the Supreme Lord as both transcendent and all-pervading.
Though Śiva is described as nirguṇa-like (indescribable, immutable), the Linga functions as the accessible saguna symbol through which devotees worship the same all-pervading Parameśvara and realize His non-dual supremacy.
Meditate on Śiva as “vyāpakaḥ parameśvaraḥ” while repeating the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya); in ritual, support this with Tripuṇḍra (bhasma) and rudrākṣa as Shaiva marks of surrender to the Supreme Lord.
