शरभप्रादुर्भावो नाम षण्णवतितमोऽध्यायः (जलन्धरविमर्दनम्)
किं कार्यं मम युधि देवदैत्यसंघैर् हन्तुं यत्सकलमिदं क्षणात्समर्थः यत्तस्माद्भयमिहनास्ति योद्धुम् ईश वाञ्छैषा विपुलतरा न संशयो ऽत्र

“Que necessidade tenho eu, na batalha, de ser morto por hostes de Devas e Daityas, quando sou capaz de destruir todo este exército num instante? Portanto, aqui não há temor em lutar, ó Senhor. Meu anseio é imensamente grande—disso não há dúvida.”
A Daitya/Asura addressing Lord Shiva (Īśa) within Suta’s narration
FAQs
It highlights the Lord (Pati) as the instant, all-surpassing power—reminding the worshipper that the Linga signifies Shiva’s sovereign capacity to dissolve all opposition and pāśa (bondage).
Shiva-tattva is implied as Īśa—fearless, unconstrained, and capable of cosmic dissolution in a moment; all hosts (Deva/Daitya) are secondary before the Lord’s absolute mastery.
The key takeaway aligns with Pāśupata discipline: fearlessness and single-pointed resolve rooted in recognition of the Lord as Pati, before whom the forces that bind the paśu lose their power.
