शुक्रशोणितसंयोगाद्देहस्संजायते यतः । नित्यं विण्मूत्रसंपूर्णस्तेनायमशुचिस्स्मृतः

Transliteration

śukraśoṇitasaṃyogāddehassaṃjāyate yataḥ | nityaṃ viṇmūtrasaṃpūrṇastenāyamaśucissmṛtaḥ

Translation

Поскольку тело возникает из соединения семени и крови и постоянно наполнено калом и мочой, оно потому считается нечистым. С точки зрения шиваитской мудрости такое распознавание рождает вайрагью, отворачивает искателя от привязанности к тленному телу и обращает его к Господу Шиве — чистому Пати, дарующему освобождение.

FAQs

What is the spiritual significance of this verse in the Shiva Purana?

It teaches vairāgya (dispassion): by seeing the body’s origin and constant impurities, one loosens egoic body-identification (pāśa) and seeks the pure, liberating grace of Śiva (Pati).

How does this verse relate to the worship of the Linga or Saguna Shiva?

By contrasting the body’s impurity with Śiva’s purity, the verse supports turning to the Śiva-liṅga as a sacred focus for devotion—worship is a practical reorientation from the transient body to the ever-pure Lord.

What ritualistic or meditative practice is suggested here?

Cultivate detachment through daily japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) and contemplative reflection on impermanence; this inner purity complements external Śaiva disciplines such as bhasma/tripuṇḍra and Śiva-pūjā where appropriate.
