kīrtanīyamidaṃ sarvaṃ bhavodvāhamanuttamam kṛtodvāhastadā devyā haimavatyā vṛṣadhvajaḥ
Ang buong salaysay na ito ng walang kapantay na kasal ni Bhava ay dapat bigkasin at ipagdiwang. Sa gayon, si Vṛṣadhvaja—ang Panginoong Śiva na may watawat na may tanda ng toro—ay natapos ang pag-iisang-dibdib sa Diyosa na si Haimavatī (Pārvatī), anak ni Himavat.
Suta Goswami (narrating to the sages of Naimisharanya)

It frames Shiva’s divine marriage as a kīrtanīya (worthy-to-be-recited) sacred narrative, implying that remembrance and recitation are themselves acts of Shiva-bhakti that purify the pashu (soul) and orient it toward Pati (Shiva).
By naming him Bhava and Vṛṣadhvaja, the verse presents Shiva as the supreme Lord who is both transcendent (anuttama) and relational—uniting with Shakti, through whom grace and cosmic order are expressed.
The explicit practice is kīrtana—devotional recitation of sacred accounts—functioning as a bhakti-sādhana that supports inner purification and steadiness conducive to Shaiva observance and Pashupata-oriented discipline.
