FAQs

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

It emphasizes inner Linga-worship through dhyāna: the purified devotee burns pāpa (kilbiṣa) and approaches Shiva (Pati) by the same meditative path, showing that external worship is fulfilled by inner absorption.

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

Shiva-tattva is implied as the liberating goal of the yogic path: when the paśu’s impurities are burned, the soul can abide in meditation and move toward union/communion with Pati, the remover of pāśa.

What ritualistic or Yogic practice is highlighted here?

Dhyāna-yoga (meditative discipline) is highlighted—an inner Pāśupata-oriented practice where sustained contemplation purifies karmic stains and leads toward mokṣa.
