Vì thế, giáo pháp thánh thiện này ta đã thọ nhận từ vị thầy của ta là hiền triết Vyāsa, bậc rực rỡ vô lượng. Do vậy, hỡi các bậc tối thắng trong hàng ẩn sĩ, tri thức công đức này ta cũng đã được thọ nhận.

Sthala Purana: Not site-specific; emphasizes śāstra’s sanctity through Vyāsa as the authoritative compiler, aligning with Purāṇic self-legitimation.
Significance: Affirms that receiving teaching through Vyāsa-paramparā is meritorious (puṇya) and purifying—an inner tīrtha of śravaṇa.
It emphasizes guru-paramparā: Shaiva wisdom is received through an authorized lineage, preserving the purity (puṇya) and efficacy of the teaching for liberation-oriented practice.
By grounding the narration in Vyāsa’s authority, the text establishes that practices like Liṅga-worship and devotion to Saguna Śiva are not mere opinion but revealed, lineage-transmitted disciplines within the Purāṇic Shaiva tradition.
The implied practice is śravaṇa (reverent listening) from a qualified teacher and regular recitation/remembering of the Purāṇic teaching as a purifying sādhana supporting bhakti and inner discipline.
