FAQs

What is the importance of this verse in the context of Linga worship?

It highlights the devotional protocol around Śiva/Liṅga worship—after offering añjali (joined hands), the devotee resumes action while remaining inwardly uplifted, showing that external ritual should culminate in inner devotion.

How does this verse describe the nature of Shiva (Shiva-tattva)?

By stressing “prahṛṣṭenāntarātmanā” (inner gladness), the verse points to Śiva-tattva as the Pati who grants ānanda and loosens pāśa (bondage) within the pashu (soul), so worship is not merely formal but transformative.

What ritualistic or Yogic practice is highlighted here?

The verse explicitly mentions añjali (hastasamāyoga) as ritual decorum, and implicitly points to a Pāśupata-oriented inner discipline: maintaining inward joy and recollection after the outward act of worship.
