प्रलय-तत्त्वलयः, नीललोहित-रुद्रः, अष्टमूर्तिस्तवः, एवं ब्रह्मणो वैराग्यम्
न व्यवर्धन्त लोके ऽस्मिन् प्रजाः कमलयोनिना वृद्ध्यर्थं भगवान्ब्रह्मा पुत्रैर्वै मानसैः सह
na vyavardhanta loke 'smin prajāḥ kamalayoninā vṛddhyarthaṃ bhagavānbrahmā putrairvai mānasaiḥ saha
ఈ లోకంలో ప్రజలు విస్తరించలేదు. అందువల్ల కమలయోనియైన భగవాన్ బ్రహ్మ సృష్టి వృద్ధి కోసం తన మనస్పుత్రులతో కలిసి ముందుకు సాగాడు.

It sets the cosmological problem—creation does not expand—preparing the narrative ground for the necessity of Pati (Shiva) and his ordering power, which later becomes central to Linga-centered worship as the stabilizing principle of srishti.
Implicitly: even Brahmā’s creative will and progeny are insufficient when prajā cannot multiply; in Shaiva Siddhanta this points to the dependence of srishti on Pati’s anugraha (grace) and niyati (cosmic governance), later expressed through Shiva’s Linga-manifestation.
No specific puja-vidhi or Pashupata Yoga limb is taught in this verse; it functions as narrative preface to later Shaiva prescriptions where disciplined practice and Shiva’s grace remove pasha and enable right order in the worlds.
