पूर्ववत्सा सुखं लेभे तत्याज स्वपणं न सः । नेत्याश्चर्यं शिवे तात मंतव्यं परमेश्वरे
pūrvavatsā sukhaṃ lebhe tatyāja svapaṇaṃ na saḥ | netyāścaryaṃ śive tāta maṃtavyaṃ parameśvare
Seperti sebelumnya, Baginda memperoleh keselesaan dan kesejahteraan, dan Baginda tidak meninggalkan komitmen-Nya sendiri. Oleh itu, wahai yang dikasihi, ini tidak seharusnya dianggap sebagai sesuatu yang menghairankan pada Siva—kerana Tuhan Yang Maha Esa (Paramesvara) sentiasa berupaya melakukan sedemikian (rahmat dan kuasa yang tidak terbatas).

The verse teaches that Śiva’s anugraha (grace) is natural and consistent; what appears miraculous is simply the Supreme Lord’s inherent sovereignty, and steadfastness in one’s sacred resolve is supported by Him.
By affirming that nothing is ‘astonishing’ for Parameśvara, it strengthens faith in Saguna Śiva worship—such as Linga-upāsanā—where the devotee relies on Śiva’s accessible, compassionate lordship to uphold dharma and grant well-being.
The practical takeaway is to maintain one’s vrata/paṇa with steadiness and to anchor the mind in Śiva through japa of the Pañcākṣarī (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”), trusting that the Lord sustains the devotee’s resolve.
