कामप्रादुर्भावः — The Manifestation/Arising of Kāma
नाम्ना संध्या दिवक्षांता सायं संध्या जपंतिका । अतीव सुन्दरी सुभ्रूर्मुनिचेतोविमोहिनी
nāmnā saṃdhyā divakṣāṃtā sāyaṃ saṃdhyā japaṃtikā | atīva sundarī subhrūrmunicetovimohinī
அவளின் பெயர் சந்த்யா; ‘திவக்ஷாந்தா’ என்றும் அழைக்கப்பட்டாள். மாலையில் அவள் சந்த்யா-ஜபம் செய்தாள். மிக அழகியவள்; அழகிய புருவங்களுடன் முனிவர்களின் மனங்களையும் மயக்கும் தன்மை உடையவள்.

The verse highlights a Shaiva ideal: outer beauty is paired with inner discipline—Sandhyā is portrayed as devoted to evening japa, indicating purity, self-restraint, and readiness for higher devotion to Pati (Shiva).
Sandhyā-japa at twilight is a foundational daily rite that supports Saguna Shiva worship—steady remembrance and mantra-recitation purify the mind, making one fit for Linga-upāsanā and focused bhakti.
Regular evening Sandhyā practice with mantra-japa (quiet repetition with attention and purity) is suggested; it can be integrated with Shaiva remembrance such as the Panchākṣarī—"Om Namaḥ Śivāya"—as a daily discipline.
