Shiva Purana — Rudra Samhita, Shloka 15

त्रिपुरवर्णनम् (Tripura-varṇanam) — “Description of Tripura”

Devanagari script

संयमात्क्षुत्तृषो जित्वा पानान्युच्चावचान्यपि । बुभुक्षितेभ्यो दत्त्वा तु बुभूवुरुपला इव

Transliteration

saṃyamātkṣuttṛṣo jitvā pānānyuccāvacānyapi | bubhukṣitebhyo dattvā tu bubhūvurupalā iva

Translation

Sa pamamagitan ng pagpipigil-sa-sarili, napagtagumpayan nila ang gutom at uhaw, pati na ang iba’t ibang inumin. Sa halip, ibinigay nila ang mga iyon sa mga nagugutom, at sila’y naging parang bato—di matinag at di nayayanig ng pagnanasa.

FAQs

It teaches saṃyama (disciplined restraint) and dāna (giving) as marks of inner Shaiva strength—desire is mastered, and the mind becomes steady and unreactive, fit for Shiva-bhakti and liberation.

Linga-worship is not only ritual but a transformation of conduct: offering up personal cravings and serving others purifies the devotee, making the heart a worthy seat for Saguna Shiva’s grace and the dawning of higher realization.

Practice moderation/fasting according to capacity, redirect comforts into charity, and stabilize the mind with japa of “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” so cravings subside and one becomes steady ‘like a rock’ in devotion.
