सृष्टिपद्धतिवर्णनम्
Exposition of the Supreme Method of Creation and the Tirodhāna-Cakra
निवृत्तिरूपमाख्यातं सृष्टिचक्रमिदं बुधैः । पितामहाधिष्ठितं च पदमेतद्धि शोभनम्
nivṛttirūpamākhyātaṃ sṛṣṭicakramidaṃ budhaiḥ | pitāmahādhiṣṭhitaṃ ca padametaddhi śobhanam
Các bậc trí giả nói rằng vòng quay của sự sáng tạo này mang bản tính của nivṛtti (sự thu hồi), đưa trở về hướng giải thoát. Đây cũng là cảnh giới rực rỡ do Pitāmaha (Phạm Thiên, Brahmā) chủ trì.

Role: liberating
Cosmic Event: nivṛtti orientation within the sṛṣṭi-cakra (turning back toward mokṣa)
It frames the cosmos not merely as outward expansion (pravṛtti) but as a divinely ordered cycle meant to mature the soul toward nivṛtti—detachment and return toward Shiva’s liberating grace.
By presenting creation as a purposeful cycle overseen by divine powers, it supports Saguna worship (such as Linga-upāsanā) as a practical means to purify bondage (pāśa) and turn the devotee inward toward liberation.
Adopt a nivṛtti-oriented discipline: daily japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) with a worshipful mindset, using vibhūti (Tripuṇḍra) and Rudrākṣa as aids to steady remembrance and detachment.
