It portrays Shiva’s divine retinue as resplendent and siddhi-endowed, implying that proximity to the Linga (Pati) sanctifies and empowers—yet all such glory remains an expression of Shiva’s lordship rather than an independent power.
By showing beings who resemble even Brahmā, Indra, and Viṣṇu in splendor due to their association with Shiva, the verse underscores Shiva as Pati—the supreme source from whom derivative radiance and capacities arise, while other deities’ greatness appears as reflected participation.
