FAQs
It frames creation as proceeding from the supreme Prabhu (Pati). In Linga worship, the Linga signifies that transcendent Lord whose power manifests the cosmos—so the devotee honors the Source rather than merely the created forms.
Shiva-tattva is implied as Prabhu—the sovereign cause who manifests beings and cosmic principles (like Virāj). This aligns with Shaiva Siddhanta’s Pati: independent, initiating srishti while remaining greater than its products.
The takeaway is contemplative Pashupata orientation: meditate on the Lord (Pati) as the ground of all emergence, and treat the world of progeny and forms as Pasha to be transcended through Shiva-bhakti and inner recollection of the Linga-principle.
