इत्येवं संविचार्य्याथ गायत्रीं प्रजपेत्सुधीः । आदिदेवीं च त्रिपदां ब्राह्मणत्वादिदामजाम्
ityevaṃ saṃvicāryyātha gāyatrīṃ prajapetsudhīḥ | ādidevīṃ ca tripadāṃ brāhmaṇatvādidāmajām
இவ்வாறு சிந்தித்த பின், ஞானமுள்ள சாதகன் காயத்ரியை ஜபிக்க வேண்டும்—அவள் ஆதிதேவி, திரிபதா, மேலும் அஜா (பிறவியற்றவள்) ஆகி பிராமணத்துவம் முதலியவற்றின் ஆதிமூலம் ஆவாள்।

It teaches that mantra-sādhana should follow clear discernment: after proper reflection and right understanding, the seeker practices Gāyatrī-japa as a purifying, illumining discipline that supports the soul’s approach to Pati (Śiva).
In the Shaiva path, disciplined japa and purity of intellect prepare the devotee for effective Śiva-upāsanā—whether through Liṅga worship (saguna focus) or contemplation of Śiva as the supreme Lord beyond attributes (nirguna).
Regular Gāyatrī-japa after thoughtful contemplation (saṃvicāra); it implies a daily mantra discipline as part of Śaiva sādhanā, supportive of purity, steadiness, and meditative readiness.
