మనిషి ఇక్కడి నుండి ప్రయాణమయ్యే వేళ, అతడు వెళ్లుచుండగా ఎవ్వరూ అనుసరించరు; అతడు చేసిన కర్మమే అతనిని అనుసరిస్తుంది.
Suta Goswami (narrating to the sages at Naimisharanya)
FAQs
It teaches that worldly relations cannot accompany the departing pashu; therefore Linga-puja, done with right intent, is a deliberate shaping of karma and a turn toward Pati (Shiva) as the only true refuge beyond death.
By stressing karma as the sole follower, it implies the pashu’s bondage (pasha) is self-carried; Shiva-tattva as Pati is the liberating principle who, through grace and right discipline, enables transcendence of karmic continuity.
The takeaway supports Pashupata discipline: purifying intention, performing Shiva-archana and japa, and living dharmically so that karma becomes a means of purification rather than bondage.
