कामशापानुग्रहः (Kāmaśāpānugraha) — “The Curse and Grace Concerning Kāma”
अहं विष्णुस्तथा शंभुः सर्वे त्वच्छ रगोचराः । इति यद्भवता प्रोक्तं तन्मयापि परीक्षितम्
ahaṃ viṣṇustathā śaṃbhuḥ sarve tvaccha ragocarāḥ | iti yadbhavatā proktaṃ tanmayāpi parīkṣitam
میں (برہما)، وِشنو اور شَمبھو (شیوا)—ہم سب تمہارے پاکیزہ، بے داغ نور کے دائرے ہی میں گردش کرتے ہیں۔ جو کچھ تم نے فرمایا، میں نے بھی اسے براہِ راست پرکھ کر سچ پایا ہے۔
Brahma
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Sadāśiva
It affirms the transcendence of the Supreme Reality: even Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva (as cosmic functions) operate within a higher, stainless divine radiance—pointing to Pati (the Supreme Lord) as beyond limited comprehension and the ultimate refuge for moksha.
The verse evokes the idea of the Supreme as pure light (jyoti), which the Śiva-liṅga represents in worship—Saguna devotion becomes a doorway to realize the Nirguna, stainless effulgence that even the gods cannot fully circumscribe.
Meditate on Śiva as pure, stainless light within the liṅga while repeating the Pañcākṣarī mantra (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), cultivating humility that even the greatest powers are limited before the Supreme.
