गजाननपूजा तथा औपासन-होमविधिः
Worship of Gajānana and the Procedure of Aupāsana-Homa
लोकत्रयपदस्यान्ते व्यापिने परमात्मने । शिवायेदं न मम च पदम्ब्रूयादतः परम्
lokatrayapadasyānte vyāpine paramātmane | śivāyedaṃ na mama ca padambrūyādataḥ param
Sa pagtatapos ng anumang pagbigkas sa tatlong daigdig, pagkatapos nito ay ipahayag ang kataas-taasang pormula: “Ito ay para kay Śiva, hindi para sa akin”—bilang handog kay Śiva, ang Kataas-taasang Sarili na lumalaganap sa lahat.
Suta Goswami (narrating the Kailasha teachings as received in the Shiva Purana tradition)
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Sadāśiva
It teaches Shaiva surrender (śaraṇāgati): every act and recitation should end with dedication to Pati (Śiva), dissolving ego-ownership (“mine”) and turning karma into Shiva-offering that supports liberation.
Linga-worship is fundamentally an offering (ārpaṇa). Saying “śivāyedaṃ na mama” seals the pūjā as belonging to Śiva alone, aligning the devotee with Saguna devotion while recognizing Śiva as the all-pervading Paramātman.
Conclude japa, pūjā, abhiṣeka, or any meritorious act with the dedication mantra “śivāyedaṃ na mama,” mentally offering the fruit to Śiva; this is especially fitting after Panchākṣara japa (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”).
