Rồi sau một thời gian dài, từ nỗi sầu khổ, cơn giận bừng sinh. Khi bị phẫn nộ chi phối, những giọt lệ rơi xuống từ đôi mắt Ngài.

It highlights inner bondage (pāśa): sorrow and anger disturb the pashu (bound soul). Linga worship, as a Shaiva discipline, is aimed at purification so the devotee turns from reactive krodha toward steadiness and devotion to Pati (Shiva).
By implication, Shiva-tattva stands apart as the tranquil Pati beyond emotional turbulence; the verse contrasts the bound condition (krodha mixed with tears) with the need for the soul to seek Shiva’s grace to transcend duhkha-born agitation.
The takeaway aligns with Pashupata Yoga: restraint of krodha, witnessing of duhkha without identification, and channeling emotion into disciplined worship (puja) and japa so the pashu loosens the pasha.
