प्रणवविभागः—वेदस्वरूपत्वं लिङ्गे च प्रतिष्ठा
The Division of Oṃ, Its Vedic Forms, and Its Placement in the Liṅga
यस्माद्गरीयसी तस्माद्विश्वं व्याप्तमथर्वणात् । ऋग्वेदः पुनराहेदं जाग्रद्रूपं मयोच्यते
yasmādgarīyasī tasmādviśvaṃ vyāptamatharvaṇāt | ṛgvedaḥ punarāhedaṃ jāgradrūpaṃ mayocyate
چونکہ یہ سب سے زیادہ گراں قدر اور بلند ہے، اس لیے اتھرو وید سارے جہان میں پھیلا ہوا ہے۔ پھر رِگ وید کہتا ہے—یہ میرے کہنے سے حالتِ بیداری (جاگرت) کی صورت ہے۔

It links Vedic revelation with the yogic analysis of consciousness, identifying “jāgrat” (wakefulness) as a definable spiritual mode and presenting Veda as pervading reality—supporting Shaiva Siddhanta’s view that true knowledge leads the bound soul (paśu) toward Shiva (Pati).
By framing Veda as all-pervading and authoritative, it supports scriptural worship (āgama-veda-sammata) of Shiva—where Saguna forms like the Linga are approached through revealed sound, meaning, and disciplined awareness beginning from the waking state.
A practical takeaway is mindful japa and contemplation in the waking state—reciting Shiva-mantras with alert awareness (jāgrat-smṛti). If following Purāṇic Shaiva practice, combine mantra-japa with Tripuṇḍra (bhasma) and Rudrākṣa as supports for steadiness and purity.
