चाण्डालीसद्गतिवर्णनम् (Cāṇḍālī-sadgati-varṇanam) — “Account of the Cāṇḍālī’s Attainment of a Good Destiny”
हतं तं गृहमानीय ज्ञात्वा गोवत्समंगना । भीता शिवशिवेत्याह केनचित्पुण्यकर्मणा
hataṃ taṃ gṛhamānīya jñātvā govatsamaṃganā | bhītā śivaśivetyāha kenacitpuṇyakarmaṇā
گائے کے بچھڑے جیسی نازک وہ عورت اسے گھر لے آئی؛ جب اسے معلوم ہوا کہ وہ مارا گیا ہے تو وہ خوف زدہ ہو گئی اور کسی سابقہ نیکی کے اثر سے پکار اٹھی: “شیو! شیو!”
Suta Goswami
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Mahādeva
Significance: Implies nāma-smaraṇa: even an accidental cry of ‘Śiva’ arising from fear can become the doorway for grace and mitigation of pāpa.
Mantra: शिव शिव
Type: stotra
Role: liberating
It highlights Śiva-smaraṇa (remembrance of Shiva) arising even spontaneously in fear, supported by past puṇya; such turning of consciousness toward Pati (Shiva) is portrayed as spiritually purifying and grace-invoking.
Calling out “Śiva! Śiva!” reflects direct devotion to Saguna Shiva; in Kotirudrasaṃhitā this devotion is aligned with Jyotirliṅga-centered faith, where the Lord responds to sincere remembrance and surrender.
Practice nāma-japa of Shiva—especially the Panchākṣarī mantra (Om Namaḥ Śivāya)—so remembrance becomes natural in all states; daily japa with bhasma (tripuṇḍra) and rudrākṣa supports steadiness of Shiva-smaraṇa.
