शैलराज त्वमप्येवं सुतां दत्त्वा शिवाय च । रक्ष सर्वकुलं सर्वान्वशान्कुरु सुरानपि
śailarāja tvamapyevaṃ sutāṃ dattvā śivāya ca | rakṣa sarvakulaṃ sarvānvaśānkuru surānapi
โอราชาแห่งขุนเขา! ท่านก็พึงกระทำฉันนั้น ครั้นมอบธิดาแด่พระศิวะแล้ว จงพิทักษ์วงศ์ตระกูลทั้งสิ้น นำทุกผู้ให้อยู่ในความกลมเกลียวและระเบียบ แม้เหล่าเทพก็ให้ตั้งอยู่ในครรลองอันควร.

Sthala Purana: Not a jyotirliṅga episode; it functions as a blessing/instruction to Himālaya after giving Pārvatī to Śiva, implying that alignment with Śiva brings order even among devas.
Significance: Devotees read this as assurance that Śiva’s sambandha (relationship) grants rakṣā (protection) and śāsana (right order) to family and community.
Type: stotra
Shakti Form: Pārvatī

FAQs
The verse frames Śiva’s marriage not as a merely social event but as a dharmic alignment: by offering Pārvatī to Śiva, Himālaya participates in divine order (śiva-dharma) and is enjoined to protect his lineage and uphold harmony under Śiva’s auspicious sovereignty.
It reflects Saguna Śiva as the benevolent Lord who stabilizes worlds and relationships. In Linga-worship, devotees approach the same Śiva as the regulator of cosmic and social order—seeking protection (rakṣā), auspiciousness (śivam), and inner discipline (vaśyatā) through devotion.
A practical takeaway is to cultivate protective, disciplined dharma through Śiva-bhakti—daily japa of the Pañcākṣarī mantra “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” along with simple Śiva-pūjā (water offering to the Linga) to invoke rakṣā and steadiness in one’s family and conduct.
