Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Mahādeva
It teaches that worship is completed not merely by giving an item (fruit) but by inner surrender—dedicating the whole of one’s actions and possessions to Śambhu, the Lord who grants grace and liberation.
In Linga-pūjā, offerings are accompanied by mantras; here the Vedic ṛcs sanctify the act, and the final instruction—offering ‘everything’ to Śambhu—expresses Saguna worship that ripens into devotion and dependence on Shiva’s grace.
Perform fruit-offering with mantra-recitation and conclude with a complete act of śaraṇāgati (surrender), mentally placing all results and the entire worship at Shiva’s feet.
