Śiva-jñāna and the Non-dual Vision of a Śiva-maya Universe (शिवज्ञानम्—सर्वं शिवमयम्)
सदाशिवो विलीयेत मुक्तो विरहमेव च । ज्ञानमूलन्तथाध्यात्म्यं तस्य भक्तिश्शिवस्य च
sadāśivo vilīyeta mukto virahameva ca | jñānamūlantathādhyātmyaṃ tasya bhaktiśśivasya ca
Ang napalaya ay nalulusaw kay Sadāśiva, at ang tanging nagwawakas ay ang pagkakahiwalay (sa Kanya). Para sa kanya, ang karunungang espirituwal ay may ugat sa panloob na pagsasakatuparan, at sa bhakti sa Panginoong Śiva.
