It teaches that disciplined meditation (dhyāna) joined to Śiva-nāma (the utterance of “Śiva”) culminates in Śiva-darśana, by which sins are dissolved and the soul moves toward purification and liberation under Pati (Śiva).
The verse points to Saguna-upāsanā: using name and form as supports for concentration. In practice, devotees often meditate on the Śiva-liṅga while repeating Śiva’s name, leading to inner darśana and cleansing of pāpa.
Sit in a steady āsana, enter dhyāna, and perform Śiva-nāma japa (“Śiva”/Pañcākṣarī such as Om Namaḥ Śivāya). The emphasis is on stable posture, focused contemplation, and continuous mantra-recitation.
