Cosmic Measures and the Arrangement of the Heavenly Spheres
द्विलक्षयोजनं तस्मादूर्ध्वं भौमस्स्थितो मुने । द्विलक्षयोजनं तस्मादूर्ध्वं जीवः स्थितो गुरु
dvilakṣayojanaṃ tasmādūrdhvaṃ bhaumassthito mune | dvilakṣayojanaṃ tasmādūrdhvaṃ jīvaḥ sthito guru
முனிவரே, அதிலிருந்து இரு லட்ச யோஜன மேலே பௌமன் (செவ்வாய்) நிலைகொண்டான். அதிலிருந்து இரு லட்ச யோஜன மேலே குரு ஜீவன் (வியாழன்) தங்கியிருக்கிறான்.
Suta Goswami (narrating cosmological order to the sages, as typical in the Purana discourse style)
Tattva Level: pasha
Shiva Form: Tatpuruṣa
By mapping the planets in measured tiers, the text frames the cosmos as an ordered domain within māyā; Shaiva Siddhanta uses such hierarchy to point the seeker beyond all cosmic levels to Pati (Śiva), the transcendent Lord.
Planetary and cosmic structures belong to the manifested (saguṇa) order; Linga-worship trains attention to the all-pervading Śiva who supports and surpasses this order, leading devotion from form to the formless ground.
Use this hierarchy as a meditation aid: mentally rise beyond planetary spheres while repeating the Pañcākṣarī (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”), fixing the mind on Śiva as the ultimate refuge beyond worldly influences.
