Kaya nga, O muni, sa pagtutok ng kanilang layon sa Kanya, ang mga rishi—na napawi na ang mga dungis—ay tinipon ang isip sa samādhi kay Śiva at narating si Śiva, ang kalagayang dalisay, walang bahid, at walang dalamhati.

It teaches that when impurities (kalmaṣa) are exhausted, the mind can rest in samādhi on Śiva, culminating in union with the sorrowless, stainless reality—Śiva as the supreme Pati who grants liberation.
The verse points to inner absorption in Śiva; in practice, devotees often begin with Saguna supports such as Liṅga-pūjā, mantra, and dhyāna, which steady the mind and mature into samādhi oriented to Śiva’s highest, affliction-free state.
The takeaway is dhyāna leading to samādhi: purify conduct, concentrate the mind on Śiva—commonly supported by japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) and regular Śiva-pūjā with bhasma and rudrākṣa where appropriate.
