शिवसतीविवाहोत्तरलीला — Post‑marital Līlā of Śiva and Satī
आलापैर्वीक्षितैर्हास्यैस्तथा संभाषणैर्हरः । तस्यादिदेश गिरिजां सपतीवात्मसंविदम्
ālāpairvīkṣitairhāsyaistathā saṃbhāṣaṇairharaḥ | tasyādideśa girijāṃ sapatīvātmasaṃvidam
அன்புரையாடல், பார்வை, மென்மையான சிரிப்பு, நெருக்கமான உரையாடல் ஆகியவற்றால் ஹரன் (சிவன்) கிரிஜைக்கு—தன் சொந்த துணைவியெனப் போல—தன் ஆத்ம-அறிவிலிருந்து பிறந்த உள்ளுணர்வை உபதேசித்தான்.

It highlights that Shiva’s grace is not only through formal doctrine but also through intimate, compassionate communication—leading the devotee (Girijā) into ātma-saṃvid, the liberating knowledge rooted in Shiva-consciousness.
The verse depicts Saguna Shiva (Hara) as the personal Guru who guides the soul through love and closeness; such personal devotion naturally matures into inner realization, which Linga-worship symbolizes as the presence of Shiva beyond mere form.
A practical takeaway is Guru-bhakti with japa: steady repetition of the Panchakshara (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) while cultivating attentive inner awareness (ātma-vicāra), receiving Shiva’s teaching through remembrance and devotion.
