Jyotirlinga: Viśvanātha
Sthala Purana: As Viśvanātha, Śiva is revered as Lord of the cosmos; the verse’s universal inclusion of devas, pitṛs, and asuras resonates with the Viśveśvara/Viśvanātha idea of all beings under one sovereignty (not a direct sthala episode).
Significance: Darśana is traditionally held to grant liberation-oriented merit and steadiness of dharma; remembrance of Śiva as Lord of all classes of beings.
Cosmic Event: ordering of beings and divine offices within the manifested cosmos

It emphasizes the all-encompassing scope of Śiva’s domain: every order of existence—gods, ancestors, beings, and even asuras—falls within the cosmic hierarchy governed by Pati (Śiva), pointing to His universal lordship.
By listing all divine and cosmic classes, the verse supports the Purāṇic theme that Saguna Śiva (worshipped as the Liṅga) is approached by all beings; the Liṅga becomes the common, accessible focus through which the transcendent Lord is revered in the manifest world.
A practical takeaway is inclusive devotion: worship Śiva with the Pañcākṣarī mantra (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) while wearing rudrākṣa and applying tripuṇḍra (bhasma), cultivating humility by recognizing all beings as within Śiva’s order.
