Ṣaḍvidhārtha-Parijñāna: Praṇavārtha and the Sixfold Unity of Meaning (षड्विधार्थपरिज्ञानम् / प्रणवार्थपरिज्ञानम्)
अहं शिवपदद्वंद्वज्ञानामृतरसायनम् । पीत्त्वा विगतसम्मोहो भविष्यामि यथा तथा
ahaṃ śivapadadvaṃdvajñānāmṛtarasāyanam | pīttvā vigatasammoho bhaviṣyāmi yathā tathā
Uống cam lộ của tri kiến—thần dược bất tử—chính là đôi chân của Śiva, ta sẽ dứt sạch mê lầm và an trụ đúng như bản tánh chân thật của mình—đúng như vậy.
A devotee-seeker (disciple) speaking in a Kailāsa Saṃhitā philosophical dialogue
Tattva Level: pashu
Shiva Form: Sadāśiva
Type: panchakshara
Role: liberating
It declares that true clarity (freedom from moha) arises by receiving and assimilating Śiva-jñāna at the Lord’s feet—symbolizing surrender, grace, and the ripening of the soul toward liberation.
In Saguna worship, the devotee approaches Śiva through accessible forms (Liṅga, icon, guru-lineage) and ‘drinks’ the teaching through devotion; that matured devotion culminates in jñāna that removes delusion—pointing beyond form without rejecting it.
A practical takeaway is pādasevā-bhāva (meditation on Śiva’s feet), listening to and contemplating Śaiva teachings (śravaṇa–manana), and steady japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) to dissolve delusion.
