FAQs

What is the importance of this verse in the context of Linga worship?

It teaches that Śiva-centered kīrtana is effective in all orthodox contexts—śrāddha, Deva-karmas, and yajñas—so devotion to Pati can be integrated into ritual life and yields the fruit of nearness to the Supreme.

How does this verse describe the nature of Shiva (Shiva-tattva)?

By stating that praise leads to “Brahman’s proximity,” it aligns Shiva-tattva with the Supreme Brahman—Pati beyond pasha—approachable through sincere remembrance and proclamation.

What ritualistic or Yogic practice is highlighted here?

Kīrtana (recitation/praise) performed during śrāddha, yajña, and especially at avabhṛtha—showing a bhakti-infused discipline that supports liberation of the pashu by turning the mind toward Pati.
