देवस्तुतिः—नन्दिकेश्वरविज्ञप्तिः—शम्भोः समाधेः उत्थानम्
Devas’ Hymn, Nandikeśvara’s Petition, and Śiva’s Rising from Samādhi
एवं विमृश्य मनसा कार्याकार्यव्यवस्थितौ । सुधीः सर्वैश्च देवेंद्र हठं नो कर्तुमर्हसि
evaṃ vimṛśya manasā kāryākāryavyavasthitau | sudhīḥ sarvaiśca deveṃdra haṭhaṃ no kartumarhasi
Итак, обдумав в уме, что следует делать и чего делать не следует, о Индра, мудрый и первый среди богов, тебе не подобает упрямо действовать против нас силой.
Parvati (in the Parvati Khanda narrative, addressing Indra or the gods)
Tattva Level: pashu
Shakti Form: Pārvatī
Role: teaching
It teaches dharmic discernment—first examine kārya vs. akārya, then act without egoistic force; in Shaiva understanding, humility and right judgment purify the mind and support devotion toward Pati (Shiva).
Linga and Saguna Shiva worship emphasize surrender and restraint; this verse warns that even divine power (like Indra’s) must be guided by dharma, aligning one’s will with Shiva’s order rather than acting in stubbornness.
Before japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) or offering bhasma/rudraksha worship, practice a brief self-inquiry: ‘Is this kārya or akārya?’—then proceed with calm, non-forceful intention.
