तस्मादेकाक्षरन्देवं शिवं परमकारणम् । उपासते यतिश्रेष्ठा हृदयाम्भोजमध्यगम्

Vì thế, các bậc khổ hạnh tối thượng tôn thờ Đức Śiva—Nguyên Nhân Tối Cao—Đấng là một âm tiết bất hoại, an trụ nơi trung tâm đóa sen của trái tim.

It identifies Śiva as the Paramakāraṇa (Supreme Cause) and the Akṣara (imperishable spiritual principle), teaching that liberation-oriented seekers should realize Him inwardly through heart-centered contemplation rather than merely external ritual.
While Liṅga worship supports Saguna upāsanā (devotional focus with form), this verse emphasizes the inner Liṅga—Śiva present in the heart-lotus—pointing from outward symbols to direct yogic realization of the same Lord.
Meditate on Śiva in the heart-lotus (hṛdayāmbhoja) with mantra-japa—classically the Pañcākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”—and steady inner worship (upāsanā) leading toward Śiva-knowledge and freedom from pāśa (bondage).
