देवस्तुतिः (Deva-stuti) — “Hymn of the Devas / Divine Praise”
शिवां शिवकरां शुद्धां स्थूलां सूक्ष्मां परायणाम् । अन्तर्विद्यासुविद्याभ्यां सुप्रीतां त्वां नमामहे
śivāṃ śivakarāṃ śuddhāṃ sthūlāṃ sūkṣmāṃ parāyaṇām | antarvidyāsuvidyābhyāṃ suprītāṃ tvāṃ namāmahe
Sumasamba kami sa Iyo, O Śivā—tagapagkaloob ng mapalad na biyaya ni Śiva, ganap na dalisay; Ikaw ang kapwa magaspang at maselan, ang kataas-taasang kanlungan. Nalulugod sa panloob na kaalaman at sa tunay na karunungang nagpapalaya, iniaalay namin ang aming taimtim na pagpupugay sa Iyo.
Suta Goswami (narrating the hymn within the Parvati Khanda context)
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Umāpati
Significance: Devī as ‘parāyaṇā’ (supreme refuge) and as both gross and subtle supports the Siddhānta path: approach Śiva through Śakti’s grace, moving from external worship (sthūla) to inner realization (sūkṣma).
Mantra: शिवां शिवकरां शुद्धां स्थूलां सूक्ष्मां परायणाम् । अन्तर्विद्यासुविद्याभ्यां सुप्रीतां त्वां नमामहे
Type: stotra
Shakti Form: Gaurī
Role: teaching
Offering: dipa
It praises Parvati as Śivā—the pure, all-pervading power who is both manifest (gross) and unmanifest (subtle), and as the supreme refuge; in Shaiva Siddhanta, her grace supports inner realization and right knowledge leading toward liberation.
By calling her both gross and subtle, the verse aligns with Saguna worship (forms, icons, Linga-puja) while affirming the subtle reality behind it; Parvati is honored as Shiva’s inseparable Shakti, through whom devotion matures into inner knowledge.
A simple practice is Parvati-stuti before Shiva worship: recite this verse with inward focus (antarvidyā), then continue japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) as a union of devotion and liberating insight.
