गजाननपूजा तथा औपासन-होमविधिः
Worship of Gajānana and the Procedure of Aupāsana-Homa
उत्तिष्ठस्वेति मन्त्रस्य विश्वरूपाय शब्दतः । पुरुषाय पदम्ब्रूयादोस्वाहेत्यस्य संवदेत्
uttiṣṭhasveti mantrasya viśvarūpāya śabdataḥ | puruṣāya padambrūyādosvāhetyasya saṃvadet
‘ఉత్తిష్ఠస్వ’తో ప్రారంభమయ్యే మంత్రంలో యథాస్థానంగా ‘విశ్వరూపాయ’ అనే పదాన్ని ఉచ్చరించాలి; తరువాత ‘పురుషాయ’ అనే పదాన్ని పలకాలి. ఈ మంత్రాంతంలో ‘ఓం స్వాహా’ అని కూడా పలకాలి.
Suta Goswami (narrating Shiva’s ritual/mantra instructions to the sages of Naimisharanya)
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Īśāna
Mantra: uttiṣṭhasva … viśvarūpāya … puruṣāya … oṃ svāhā
It teaches disciplined mantra-vidhi: invoking Shiva as Viśvarūpa (all-pervading Lord) and Puruṣa (supreme conscious Being), then sealing the offering with “oṃ svāhā,” aligning speech, intention, and worship toward Pati (Shiva) for purification and liberation.
By naming Shiva as Viśvarūpa and Puruṣa, the verse supports Saguna upāsanā—worship of Shiva with attributes—commonly centered on the Śiva-liṅga, where mantra recitation and offerings are made with precise sacred words.
It indicates a mantra-recitation protocol used in worship or homa: recite the mantra with the specified epithets (Viśvarūpa, Puruṣa) and conclude with “oṃ svāhā,” offering the mantra’s fruit to Shiva with focused attention.
