मुक्तयतिदेहसंस्काररहस्यं — The Esoteric Rites for the Bodies of Liberated Ascetics
तत्कुर्वन्स यतिस्सम्यक्छिवध्यानपरो भवेत् । नियमेन मुने नित्यं प्रणवासक्तमानसः
tatkurvansa yatissamyakchivadhyānaparo bhavet | niyamena mune nityaṃ praṇavāsaktamānasaḥ
ఆ సాధనను ఆచరించుచు యతి సమ్యకంగా శివధ్యానపరుడై నిలుచును. ఓ మునీ, నియమాచరణతో నిత్యం తన మనస్సును ప్రణవం (ఓం) యందు స్థిరంగా ఆసక్తి చేయవలెను.

It presents a Shaiva yogic ideal: through niyama (disciplined observance), the ascetic’s mind becomes steadily absorbed in Oṁ, maturing into single-pointed meditation on Śiva—an inner path toward liberation under Pati (Śiva).
While not naming the Liṅga directly, it supports the inner counterpart of Saguna worship: external devotion culminates in dhyāna, where the mind rests in Śiva through Praṇava, the seed-sound that leads from form-based reverence to inner realization.
Regular disciplined practice (niyama) of japa and contemplation of Praṇava (Oṁ), maintaining continuous mental absorption, as a direct support for Śiva-dhyāna.
