Shiva Purana — Rudra Samhita, Shloka 60
शिवानुकम्पा, ब्रह्मणो निर्भयत्वं च (Śiva’s Compassion and Brahmā’s Fearlessness)
तस्याऽविघ्नं भवेत्सर्वं कर्म वैवाहिकं च यत् । शुभाख्यमपरं कर्म निर्विघ्नं सर्वदा भवेत्
tasyā'vighnaṃ bhavetsarvaṃ karma vaivāhikaṃ ca yat | śubhākhyamaparaṃ karma nirvighnaṃ sarvadā bhavet
Nhờ pháp hành cát tường ấy, mọi công việc—đặc biệt các nghi lễ hôn phối—đều được vô chướng ngại. Bất cứ nghi thức nào khác được gọi là “cát tường” cũng luôn luôn không bị ngăn trở.

FAQs
It teaches that when an act is aligned with Shiva-oriented auspiciousness (śubha), the binding forces that create impediments (vighna) subside, allowing dharmic rites—especially life-sacraments like marriage—to proceed smoothly.
In the Shiva Purana’s ritual frame, obstacle-free completion of samskāras is achieved through propitiation of Saguna Shiva—commonly via Linga worship—so that divine grace steadies the rite and removes disruptions.
Perform the rite with Shiva-bhakti and śubha-saṅkalpa—typically supported by Shiva pūjā (Linga worship), mantra-japa such as “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” and maintaining ritual purity—so the ceremony remains nirvighna.
