दक्षस्य यज्ञप्रवृत्तिः तथा ईश्वरवर्जितदेवसमागमः
Dakṣa’s Sacrificial Undertaking and the Devas’ Assembly without Īśvara
आलिंग्य च समाघ्राय मूर्ध्नि षड्वदनं यथा । सस्मिता वचनं प्राह मधुरं मधुरं स्वयम्
āliṃgya ca samāghrāya mūrdhni ṣaḍvadanaṃ yathā | sasmitā vacanaṃ prāha madhuraṃ madhuraṃ svayam
اس نے اسے گلے لگایا اور سر پر محبت سے بوسہ دیا—جیسے چھ رخ والے (کارتیکے) کو کوئی پیار کرے۔ پھر مسکراتے ہوئے اس نے خود ہی نہایت شیریں، شیریں کلمات کہے۔
Parvati
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Umāpati
Shakti Form: Pārvatī
Role: nurturing
The verse highlights bhakti expressed through tenderness and reverence—love offered in purity becomes a sanctifying force that reflects the harmony of Shiva’s divine household and nurtures sattvic devotion in the seeker.
It supports Saguna-upāsanā: devotees approach Shiva not only as the formless Pati but also through his divine family and līlā. Such affectionate remembrance steadies the mind, making Linga-worship more heartfelt and intimate.
Practice devotional smṛti (loving recollection) while chanting the Panchākṣarī—“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”—and cultivate mādhurya-bhāva (gentle sweetness) before beginning Linga-pūjā with bhasma and rudrākṣa.
