Devas’ Hymn: Śiva as Parabrahman, Māyā-Śakti, and Giver of Karmic Fruits
कर्तुस्त्वं मंगलानां हि स्वपरं तु मुखे विभो । अमंगलानां च हितं मिश्रं वाथ विपर्ययम्
kartustvaṃ maṃgalānāṃ hi svaparaṃ tu mukhe vibho | amaṃgalānāṃ ca hitaṃ miśraṃ vātha viparyayam
O Panginoon, Ikaw nga ang tagapagganap ng mga mapalad na bunga. Nasa Iyo ang kapangyarihang ituwid ang kapwa sariling panig at ang salungat—kapwa—tungo sa wastong hantungan. At kahit sa di-mapalad na kalagayan, Ikaw ay nakapagdudulot ng kabutihang kapaki-pakinabang—maging may halong hirap, o sa pamamagitan ng pagbaligtad sa tila takbo ng mga pangyayari.

FAQs
The verse affirms Śiva as Pati—the supreme Lord whose grace can transform outcomes: even what appears inauspicious can be redirected toward the devotee’s true welfare and liberation.
Linga/Saguna worship trains surrender to Śiva’s governance of events; the devotee seeks mangala not merely as worldly success but as Śiva’s right ordering of life toward dharma and mokṣa.
A practical takeaway is japa of the Pañcākṣarī (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) with intentional surrender, coupled with simple Śiva-upacāra (water offering) to seek Śiva’s mangala and inner steadiness amid reversals.
