पार्वतीवाक्यं—शिवस्य परब्रह्मत्व-निरूपणम्
Pārvatī’s Discourse: Establishing Śiva as Parabrahman
कृत्वा स्वरूपं सुभगं शिवाध्यानं यथा तथा । दर्शयित्वा शिवायै तामुवाचावाङ्मुखीं शिवः
kṛtvā svarūpaṃ subhagaṃ śivādhyānaṃ yathā tathā | darśayitvā śivāyai tāmuvācāvāṅmukhīṃ śivaḥ
శివుడు ధ్యానానికి అనుకూలమైన అత్యంత మంగళకరమైన, సుందరమైన స్వరూపాన్ని ధరించి, ఆ రూపాన్ని శివా (పార్వతి)కు దర్శింపజేశాడు; తరువాత ముఖం వంచి నిలిచిన ఆమెతో శివుడు పలికాడు।
Lord Shiva
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Sadāśiva
Type: stotra
Shakti Form: Pārvatī
Role: teaching
It highlights Śiva’s grace (anugraha): the Supreme Pati makes himself approachable by manifesting an auspicious form for dhyāna, and instructs the devoted soul (Pārvatī) who stands in humility—showing that reverence and meditative readiness invite divine teaching.
The verse supports Saguna-upāsanā: Śiva reveals a meditational form that the mind can hold steadily. In Shaiva practice this complements Liṅga worship—both are compassionate ‘supports’ (ālambana) leading the devotee from form-based contemplation toward deeper realization of Śiva’s supreme nature.
It points to Śiva-dhyāna with humility: begin worship with respectful composure, then meditate on an auspicious Śiva-form as your support. Practically, this pairs well with japa of “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” and calm inward focus before or after Liṅga-pūjā.
