Rudra Enters the Battlefield; the Daityas’ Arrow-Storm
महावृषभमारूढस्सर्वथा रुद्रसंनिभः । आसुर्य्या मायया व्यास स बभूव जलंधरः
mahāvṛṣabhamārūḍhassarvathā rudrasaṃnibhaḥ | āsuryyā māyayā vyāsa sa babhūva jalaṃdharaḥ
Hỡi Vyāsa, cưỡi trên con bò lớn và giống Rudra trong mọi phương diện, nhờ huyễn lực của loài asura mà hắn đã hóa thành Jalandhara.

It highlights that asuric māyā can imitate even divine appearances; discernment and devotion to the true Pati (Śiva) protect the seeker from mistaking illusion for ultimate reality.
Saguna forms can be imitated in the world of appearances, but the Liṅga signifies Śiva beyond deceptive likeness—calling the devotee to worship the true Lord rather than external imitation.
Japa of the Pañcākṣarī mantra (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) with vibhūti (tripuṇḍra) and steady dhyāna on Śiva helps cultivate viveka (discernment) against māyā.
