Viṣṇu’s Hymn and the Petition for Śiva–Satī’s Protection
विष्णुरुवाच । न ब्रह्मा भवतो भिन्नो न त्वं तस्मात्सदाशिव । न वाहं भवतो भिन्नो न मत्त्वं परमेश्वर
viṣṇuruvāca | na brahmā bhavato bhinno na tvaṃ tasmātsadāśiva | na vāhaṃ bhavato bhinno na mattvaṃ parameśvara
Viṣṇu bersabda: “Brahmā tidak terpisah daripada-Mu, dan Engkau tidak terpisah daripadanya, wahai Sadāśiva. Aku juga tidak terpisah daripada-Mu, dan Engkau tidak terpisah daripadaku, wahai Parameśvara.”

FAQs
It teaches that sectarian separation is ultimately false: the divine functions associated with Brahmā and Viṣṇu rest in the one Parameśvara, Sadāśiva, who is the inner reality and sovereign Lord.
Linga worship centers on Sadāśiva as the supreme, all-pervading Lord; this verse supports seeing all divine forms and cosmic roles as grounded in Shiva, making Saguna Shiva devotion a doorway to realizing the one supreme reality.
Practice one-pointed japa of the Panchākṣarī—“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”—while contemplating that the same Parameśvara shines through all divine names and forms, dissolving feelings of difference.
