यथा श्रुतं तथा प्राह व्यासाद् विश्वार्थसूचकात् सूत उवाच त्रैलोक्यस्यास्य शापाद्धि मनोवाक्कायसंभवात्
yathā śrutaṃ tathā prāha vyāsād viśvārthasūcakāt sūta uvāca trailokyasyāsya śāpāddhi manovākkāyasaṃbhavāt
Sinabi ni Sūta: “Gaya ng aking narinig, gayon ko rin ito isasalaysay—tulad ng aking tinanggap mula kay Vyāsa, tagapagpahiwatig ng kahulugan ng buong sansinukob. Tunay, mula sa sumpang iyon ay sumibol ang pagdurusa sa tatlong daigdig, na nalikha sa pamamagitan ng isip, salita, at katawan.”

FAQs
It establishes the authoritative transmission of the Linga Purana teaching (Vyāsa → Sūta) and frames the coming events as karmic consequences affecting the three worlds—setting the ground for why refuge in Pati (Śiva) and proper Shaiva practice (pujā, vrata, yoga) becomes necessary.
Indirectly: by highlighting that worldly disorder can be produced through mind, speech, and body, it implies Shiva-tattva as the transcendent Pati beyond these instruments and their karmic reactions—He is the liberating principle who unties pāśa for the paśu.
No specific rite is prescribed in this verse, but it points to the yogic discipline of purifying mind, speech, and body (manovākkāya-śuddhi), a key foundation for Pāśupata-aligned sādhanā and for effective Śiva-pūjā.
