The Determination of Śiva as the Meaning of Praṇava
तेन संप्रोक्ष्य संप्राप्य शुद्धदेहस्वभावतः । होमद्रव्यार्थमाचार्य्य दक्षिणार्थं विहाय च
tena saṃprokṣya saṃprāpya śuddhadehasvabhāvataḥ | homadravyārthamācāryya dakṣiṇārthaṃ vihāya ca
Được rảy nước thánh ấy theo nghi lễ và nhờ đó đạt trạng thái thanh tịnh tự nhiên của thân thể, rồi phải dành riêng vật dụng cho lễ hỏa cúng (homa); và, ô bậc đạo sư, cũng nên dâng phần dakṣiṇā làm lễ tạ cho vị chủ tế.
Suta Goswami (narrating Shaiva ritual procedure to the sages of Naimisharanya, as typical of Purana discourse in the Kailasha Samhita)
Tattva Level: pashu
Shiva Form: Sadāśiva
It teaches that Shaiva worship should begin with purification (saṃprokṣaṇa) and proceed with disciplined offering (homa) and righteous giving (dakṣiṇā), aligning outer conduct with inner devotion so the aspirant becomes fit to receive Shiva’s grace.
In Linga/Saguna Shiva worship, ritual purity and proper offerings support focused bhakti; allocating homa materials and dakṣiṇā is part of honoring the sacred rite and its officiants, treating the worship as service to Shiva present in the ritual.
Perform saṃprokṣaṇa (sprinkling for purification), then prepare homa offerings and give dakṣiṇā; the meditative takeaway is to cultivate cleanliness, sincerity, and gratitude as integral limbs of Shiva-upāsanā.
