शिशुकस्य शिवशास्त्रप्राप्तिः (Śiśuka’s Attainment of Śaiva Teaching and Grace)
शिवशास्त्रप्रवक्तृत्वमपि तस्य हि तत्कृतम् । कुमारो मुनितो लब्धज्ञानाब्धिरिव नन्दनः
śivaśāstrapravaktṛtvamapi tasya hi tatkṛtam | kumāro munito labdhajñānābdhiriva nandanaḥ
اسی کے سبب اسے شِو شاستر کا مبلغ بھی بنایا گیا۔ وہ الٰہی نوجوان نندن، مونی کے وسیلے سے حاصل شدہ علم کے ساتھ گویا نو بہ نو پائے ہوئے علم کے سمندر کی مانند ہو گیا۔

It highlights that true Śaiva knowledge (jñāna) and the authority to teach Śiva-śāstra arise through grace and proper transmission via a realized sage, leading the seeker toward liberation under Pati (Śiva).
Śiva-śāstra is the doctrinal foundation that guides Saguna worship—such as Liṅga-pūjā—into a disciplined path where devotion and ritual mature into inner knowledge of Śiva as the supreme Pati.
Seek instruction from a competent guru and study/recite Śiva-śāstra alongside steady japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), using worship as a support for awakening jñāna.
