ထိုအရှင်သည် ဖော်ပြမရ၊ ပြောင်းလဲမှုမရှိ၊ အမြင့်ဆုံး အတ္တမန်—အဒွယ၊ မလွဲမသွေ ဖြစ်တော်မူ၏။ အဆုံးမရှိသူ၊ အဆုံးကို ဆောင်ကြဉ်းသူ (အရာအားလုံး၏ နိဂုံး)၊ အရှင်နှင့် အုပ်စိုးရှင်၊ အလုံးစုံကို လွှမ်းမိုးသော အမြင့်ဆုံး ဘုရား—ပတိဖြစ်သော ရှိဝသည် ကန့်သတ်မှုကို လွန်ကဲသော်လည်း အရာအားလုံး၌ နီးကပ်တည်ရှိတော်မူ၏။

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.
