FAQs
By stressing “bhuvaḥ pramāṇa”—the true measure/order of the worlds—the verse frames Linga worship as alignment with Pati (Shiva), the cosmic ground beyond all lokas, so devotion is not merely worldly but oriented to the transcendent Lord.
Shiva-tattva is implied as the ultimate standard (pramāṇa) behind all cosmic levels: the worlds can be measured and known, yet their source and ruler—Pati—remains the supreme principle to be realized through right knowledge and devotion.
The verse highlights jñāna-based discipline—learning and transmitting cosmological and metaphysical order—supporting Pāśupata-oriented practice where right understanding loosens pāśa (bondage) for the paśu (individual soul) through guidance and repeated instruction.
