Rudra-Śiva: Names, Two Natures, and the Logic of Epithets (रुद्रनाम-बहुरूपत्व-प्रकरणम्)
अध्यात्मगतिचित्तो यस्तन्मनास्तत्परायण: । युक्तो योगं प्रति सदा प्रतिसंख्यानमेव च
adhyātma-gati-citto yas tan-manās tat-parāyaṇaḥ | yukto yogaṃ prati sadā prati-saṅkhyānam eva ca ||
Wika ni Maheshvara: “Ang may isip na nakatuon sa landas na panloob (adhyātma), na ang pag-iisip ay nakapirmi sa ‘Yaon,’ at si ‘Yaon’ lamang ang ginawang kanlungan, ay dapat manatiling may disiplina magpakailanman—laging nakatuon sa pagsasanay ng yoga at sa mapanuring pagsisiyasat. Ang naghahangad ng pagpapalaya ay dapat paulit-ulit na magnilay, magmuni, at lumubog sa malalim na pagninilay sa kaalamang espirituwal; manatiling matatag dito habang patuloy na sinusuri ang katotohanan.”

Educational Q&A
A liberation-seeker should keep the mind oriented to the inner Self, take the Supreme/Self as the sole goal, and maintain steady discipline through continuous yoga-practice together with discriminative inquiry—supported by contemplation (cintana), reflection (manana), and deep meditation (nididhyāsana).
In Anuśāsana Parva’s instructional setting, Śrī Maheśvara is delivering a didactic teaching: he prescribes the inner regimen for a mumukṣu—how to stabilize the mind in adhyātma and pursue realization through sustained practice and analysis of truth.
