अवंतीस्थ-ब्राह्मणकथा तथा तृतीय-ज्योतिर्लिङ्गोपाख्यान-प्रस्तावना
Avanti Brahmin Narrative and Prelude to the Third Jyotirliṅga
धैर्यं समाश्रितास्ते च रेखामात्रं तदा द्विजाः । न चेलुः परमध्यानाद्वराकाः के शिवाग्रतः
dhairyaṃ samāśritāste ca rekhāmātraṃ tadā dvijāḥ | na celuḥ paramadhyānādvarākāḥ ke śivāgrataḥ
Bấy giờ các bậc hiền triết Bà-la-môn, nương tựa nơi dũng lực kiên định, trở nên như những nét mảnh—bất động. Những kẻ đáng thương ấy, chìm sâu trong thiền định tối thượng, hoàn toàn không lay động trước chính sự hiện diện của Đức Śiva.

Tattva Level: pashu
Shiva Form: Sadāśiva
Role: liberating
It highlights the power of paramadhyāna—when the mind is fully steadied in Śiva, even the body becomes motionless, reflecting surrender (śaraṇāgati) and one-pointed absorption in the Supreme Lord (Pati).
The verse depicts devotees facing Śiva directly; in Kotirudrasaṁhitā this devotion commonly culminates in darśana of Saguna Śiva and the Jyotirliṅga principle—Śiva as accessible Presence that draws the mind into stillness and reverence.
One-pointed dhyāna with dhairya (steadfastness): sit steadily, restrain movement, and contemplate Śiva while repeating the Pañcākṣarī mantra (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) as a practical support for sustained meditation.
