ब्रह्माण्डदान-प्रशंसा तथा ब्रह्माण्ड-प्रमाण-वर्णनम्
Praise of the Gift of the Cosmic Egg and Description of the Brahmāṇḍa’s Measure
ब्रह्मांडे सकलं दत्तं यत्फलं लभते नरः । तदेकभावादाप्नोति सप्तलोकाधिपो भवेत्
brahmāṃḍe sakalaṃ dattaṃ yatphalaṃ labhate naraḥ | tadekabhāvādāpnoti saptalokādhipo bhavet
Qualquer mérito que um homem obtenha ao dar tudo o que há no cosmos inteiro, esse mesmo fruto é alcançado pela devoção de um só coração ao Senhor Śiva. Por tal unidireção, torna-se soberano dos sete mundos.

It teaches that inner single-minded devotion to Śiva (ekabhāva) yields merit surpassing even the greatest external charity, indicating that grace and focused surrender are higher than mere worldly accumulation of punya.
Ekabhāva is practically cultivated through steady Linga-upāsanā—regular pūjā, dhyāna, and remembrance—where the mind is gathered into one devotion toward Saguna Śiva as the accessible form of the Supreme Pati.
One-pointed japa and dhyāna are implied—especially continuous repetition of the Pañcākṣarī ("Om Namaḥ Śivāya") with disciplined worship, helping the mind remain fixed on Śiva rather than dispersed in many aims.
