शिवस्य सैन्यप्रयाणम् तथा गणपतिनामावलिः (Śiva’s Mobilization for War and the Catalogue of Gaṇa Commanders)
कुमाराभ्यां सहैवाद्य निर्गच्छंतु ममाज्ञया । स्वसेनया भद्रकाली निर्गच्छतु रणाय च । शंखचूडवधार्थाय निर्गच्छाम्यद्य सत्वरम्
kumārābhyāṃ sahaivādya nirgacchaṃtu mamājñayā | svasenayā bhadrakālī nirgacchatu raṇāya ca | śaṃkhacūḍavadhārthāya nirgacchāmyadya satvaram
"Theo lệnh của ta, hãy để họ ra đi hôm nay cùng với hai vị Kumāra. Hãy để Bhadrakālī cũng hành quân ra trận cùng với đạo quân của mình. Vì mục đích tiêu diệt Śaṅkhacūḍa, ta cũng sẽ khởi hành ngay hôm nay."
Lord Shiva
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Kālāntaka
Shakti Form: Kālī
Role: destructive
It presents Shiva as Pati—the supreme Lord who directs all divine powers to restore dharma. The outward battle symbolizes the inner removal of egoic and demonic tendencies, accomplished by Shiva’s decisive grace.
Though Shiva is ultimately Nirguṇa, this verse highlights Saguna Shiva as the active protector and ruler of cosmic order. Linga-worship trains the devotee to take refuge in that supreme Lord whose will governs both peace and righteous action.
Adopt the attitude of śaraṇāgati (surrender): chant the Pañcākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” with steady resolve, and offer Tripuṇḍra-bhasma as a reminder that Shiva swiftly burns obstacles and impurities.
