Shiva Purana — Vayaviya Samhita, Shloka 13

पशु-पाश-पतिविचारः / Inquiry into Paśu, Pāśa, and Pati

य एको जालवानीश ईशानीभिस्स्वशक्तिभिः । सर्वांल्लोकानिमान् कृत्वा एक एव स ईशते १

ya eko jālavānīśa īśānībhissvaśaktibhiḥ | sarvāṃllokānimān kṛtvā eka eva sa īśate 1

Siya ang iisang Panginoon, makapangyarihan at sumasaklaw sa lahat; sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang sariling mga kapangyarihan—ang mga Śakti na tinatawag na Īśānī—nililikha Niya ang lahat ng mga daigdig na ito; at bagaman nilikha ang lahat, nananatili Siyang iisa at naghahari sa lahat.

FAQs

The verse affirms Śiva as the one supreme Pati (Lord) who creates and governs all realms through His own Śaktis, showing that multiplicity arises from divine power while His essential sovereignty remains one and undivided.

Though Śiva is one and transcendent, devotees approach Him through saguna forms—especially the Śiva-liṅga—recognizing the liṅga as the sign of the one Lord who manifests the worlds by Śakti yet remains the same ruler beyond all change.

Meditate on Śiva as the one ruler present in all worlds while chanting the Pañcākṣarī mantra “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” contemplating Śiva-Śakti unity; this supports inner stillness and detachment from pasha (bondage).
