जम्बूद्वीपस्य नववर्षविभागः रुद्रस्य अष्टक्षेत्रसन्निधिः नाभि-ऋषभ-भरतकथा
हेमकूटं तु यद्वर्षं ददौ किंपुरुषाय सः नैषधं यत्स्मृतं वर्षं हरये तत्पिता ददौ
hemakūṭaṃ tu yadvarṣaṃ dadau kiṃpuruṣāya saḥ naiṣadhaṃ yatsmṛtaṃ varṣaṃ haraye tatpitā dadau
Ele concedeu Hemakūṭa-varṣa a Kiṃpuruṣa; e a terra lembrada como Naiṣadha-varṣa foi dada pelo Pai a Hara. Assim, na distribuição ordenada dos reinos, as porções senhoriais foram atribuídas segundo o dharma—sob o supremo governo de Pati (Śiva), que sustenta toda a ordem cósmica.
Suta Goswami (narrating to the sages at Naimisharanya)
FAQs
Though not a direct linga-puja instruction, the verse situates Hara (Śiva) within the cosmic order: lands and destinies are distributed under a dharmic structure ultimately upheld by Pati, the Lord worshipped as the Liṅga.
Śiva appears as Hara within a cosmological allocation narrative—signaling Shiva-tattva as the stabilizing principle of order (dharma) behind names, regions, and authority, consistent with Pati as the supreme governor beyond changing forms.
No specific puja-vidhi or Pāśupata-yoga technique is stated; the takeaway is contemplative—seeing the cosmos as structured under Pati (Śiva), which supports a yogic attitude of surrender and alignment with dharma.
