प्रणवार्थपद्धतिवर्णनम्
Methodical Explanation of the Meaning of Praṇava/Om
सूत उवाच । इत्युक्त्वा मुनिशार्दूलः पराशर्य्यो महातपाः । पूजितः परया भक्त्या मुनिभिर्वेदवादिभिः
sūta uvāca | ityuktvā muniśārdūlaḥ parāśaryyo mahātapāḥ | pūjitaḥ parayā bhaktyā munibhirvedavādibhiḥ
Sūta nói: Nói xong như vậy, bậc đại khổ hạnh—con của Parāśara, “hổ giữa các hiền triết”—được các ẩn sĩ, những vị giảng giải Veda, tôn kính cúng dường bằng lòng sùng kính tối thượng.
Suta Goswami
Tattva Level: pashu
Offering: pushpa
It highlights that true spiritual transmission is received through humility and parā-bhakti—reverent devotion toward realized sages who embody and teach dharma and Śiva-tattva.
Honoring a great ṛṣi who expounds the Vedas supports Saguna Śiva worship by grounding devotion in right understanding (śraddhā and śāstra), which then matures toward deeper realization of Śiva.
Practice guru-vandana and śāstra-satkara: respectfully listen to sacred discourse, offer mental worship (mānasa-pūjā), and cultivate devotion—optionally alongside japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya).
