Shloka 7
प्रलय-तत्त्वलयः, नीललोहित-रुद्रः, अष्टमूर्तिस्तवः, एवं ब्रह्मणो वैराग्यम्
न व्यवर्धन्त लोके ऽस्मिन् प्रजाः कमलयोनिना वृद्ध्यर्थं भगवान्ब्रह्मा पुत्रैर्वै मानसैः सह
na vyavardhanta loke 'smin prajāḥ kamalayoninā vṛddhyarthaṃ bhagavānbrahmā putrairvai mānasaiḥ saha
В этом мире существа не размножались. Потому Благой Брахма, Лотосорождённый, желая приумножения творения, приступил к делу вместе со своими уморождёнными сыновьями — манасами.

It sets the cosmological problem—creation does not expand—preparing the narrative ground for the necessity of Pati (Shiva) and his ordering power, which later becomes central to Linga-centered worship as the stabilizing principle of srishti.
Implicitly: even Brahmā’s creative will and progeny are insufficient when prajā cannot multiply; in Shaiva Siddhanta this points to the dependence of srishti on Pati’s anugraha (grace) and niyati (cosmic governance), later expressed through Shiva’s Linga-manifestation.
No specific puja-vidhi or Pashupata Yoga limb is taught in this verse; it functions as narrative preface to later Shaiva prescriptions where disciplined practice and Shiva’s grace remove pasha and enable right order in the worlds.
