कैलासगमनं कुबेरसख्यं च — Śiva’s Journey to Kailāsa and His Friendship with Kubera
सच्छ्रोत्रियास्तेऽनूचाना दीक्षितास्सोमयाजिनः । इति रूढिमिह प्राप्तास्तव पूर्वपितामहाः

உன் முன்னோர்கள் இங்கே உண்மையான ஶ்ரோத்திரியர்கள்—வேத பாராயணத்தில் தேர்ந்தவர்கள், தீக்ஷை பெற்றவர்கள், சோம யாகம் செய்தவர்கள். இவ்வாறே அவர்கள் இவ்வுலகில் மதிப்புமிக்க நிலையும் நிலைபெற்ற மரபும் பெற்றனர்.

It affirms that spiritual authority and social honour arise from śruti-based learning, proper dīkṣā, and disciplined yajña—outer dharma supporting inner purity that ripens into devotion to Śiva, the supreme Pati.
By praising orthodox initiation and sacrificial discipline, the verse frames a dharmic foundation from which Saguna Śiva-upāsanā (including Liṅga worship) becomes steady and efficacious—ritual order culminating in focused bhakti.
It points to dīkṣā (initiation) and faithful performance of prescribed rites; for a Shaiva practitioner, the practical takeaway is disciplined daily worship with mantra-japa (especially the Pañcākṣarī, “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) alongside purity of conduct.
