Adhyaya 63: Daksha’s Progeny, Kashyapa’s Offspring, and the Rishi-Vamshas that Sustain the Worlds
अन्नोदकं मूलफलम् ओषधीश् च प्रवर्तयन् तानेताञ्जीवयामास कारुण्यादौषधेन च
annodakaṃ mūlaphalam oṣadhīś ca pravartayan tānetāñjīvayāmāsa kāruṇyādauṣadhena ca
Khởi động việc cung ứng lương thực và nước, rễ và quả, cùng các dược thảo, ngài đã vì lòng từ mẫn mà khiến họ được sống lại, nhờ những phương dược chữa lành.
Suta Goswami
It frames Shiva as the compassionate Pati whose anugraha sustains and revives embodied beings; Linga worship aligns the Pashu with that life-giving grace through devotion and offering.
Shiva-tattva is shown as both transcendent lordship and immanent mercy: he not only rules creation but actively restores life by provisioning sustenance and healing—anugraha overcoming pasha-like suffering.
The verse supports seva and dana-oriented Shaiva practice—offering food, water, and medicinal aid—as expressions of Shiva’s anugraha; yogically it points to compassion (dayā) as a Pashupata-aligned discipline that loosens bondage.
