दिव्य-भवन-छत्र-निर्माणः तथा देवसमाह्वानम्
Divine Pavilion and Canopy; Summoning the Gods
ननामाथ शिवं देवी हृदयेन विदूयता । आसनं दत्तवाञ्शंभुः स्वसन्मुख उदारधीः
nanāmātha śivaṃ devī hṛdayena vidūyatā | āsanaṃ dattavāñśaṃbhuḥ svasanmukha udāradhīḥ
Rồi Nữ Thần cúi đầu đảnh lễ Đức Śiva, lòng tan chảy trong niềm sùng kính dịu dàng. Bậc Śambhu cao thượng đặt nàng ngồi trước mặt và ban cho nàng một chỗ ngồi.

Role: nurturing
It highlights bhakti marked by humility: Satī’s heartfelt bow shows the soul (paśu) turning toward Pati (Śiva), and Śiva’s offering of a seat symbolizes grace responding to sincere surrender.
The verse reflects Saguna devotion—approaching Śiva as the personal Lord who receives reverence and bestows honoring nearness. In Liṅga-worship, this same mood is expressed through respectful upacāras like āsana, arghya, and namaskāra.
Practice namaskāra with a softened, attentive heart before pūjā; then offer āsana as an upacāra to Śiva (especially in Liṅga-pūjā). As a meditative takeaway, begin japa of “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” with humility and inner surrender.
