Umāyāḥ Kriyāyoga-Rahasya
The Esoteric Teaching on Umā’s Kriyāyoga
अस्यामेव तृतीयायां कुर्याद्दोलोत्सवं बुधः । पूजयेज्जगतां धात्रीमुमां शंकरसंयुताम्
asyāmeva tṛtīyāyāṃ kuryāddolotsavaṃ budhaḥ | pūjayejjagatāṃ dhātrīmumāṃ śaṃkarasaṃyutām
Sa mismong ikatlong tithi na ito, ang marunong na deboto ay dapat magsagawa ng dolotsava, ang pistang pag-ugoy, at sambahin si Umā—Ina at Tagapagtaguyod ng mga daigdig—na laging kaisa ni Śaṅkara.

Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Umāpati
It teaches tithi-based devotion where the devotee honors Umā as Jagaddhātrī (cosmic sustainer) inseparable from Śiva, affirming the Shaiva Siddhanta insight that Śiva (Pati) and Śakti operate as one in grace and liberation.
The verse emphasizes Saguna worship—revering Śiva together with Umā—supporting the Purāṇic mode of devotion where the Liṅga and the divine couple are worshiped as accessible forms through which the transcendent Lord bestows anugraha (grace).
It prescribes Dolotsava on the third lunar day: ceremonially placing the deity on a swing, offering flowers, incense, lamps, and mantras (e.g., pañcākṣarī “oṃ namaḥ śivāya”), focusing the mind on Umā-Śaṅkara’s united presence.
