Devanagari script

मनोवेगं सर्वगं च विमानमनुगृह्य च । भुक्तभोगस्य तस्यापि भोगकौतूहलक्षये

Transliteration

manovegaṃ sarvagaṃ ca vimānamanugṛhya ca | bhuktabhogasya tasyāpi bhogakautūhalakṣaye

Translation

Và (Đức Śiva) vì lòng gia hộ đã ban cho người ấy một cỗ thiên xa—nhanh như ý niệm và đi khắp mọi nơi. Nhưng dẫu là kẻ đã hưởng đủ lạc thú, khi niềm hiếu kỳ đối với sự hưởng thụ thêm nữa đã dứt, thì tâm hướng về mục đích tối thượng liền khởi lên.

FAQs

What is the spiritual significance of this verse in the Shiva Purana?

It highlights Śiva’s anugraha (grace): worldly boons may be given, but the deeper transformation occurs when attachment to enjoyment naturally wanes, opening the seeker to dispassion and liberation-oriented insight.

How does this verse relate to the worship of the Linga or Saguna Shiva?

The verse reflects Saguna Śiva as the compassionate Lord who grants boons; in Linga-worship, devotees seek not only prosperity but also inner purification so that bhoga gives way to vairāgya and devotion ripens toward mokṣa.

What ritualistic or meditative practice is suggested here?

A practical takeaway is to pair boon-seeking with daily Shiva-sadhana—japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) and mental offering—so that desires subside and the mind turns steadily toward Śiva.
