hiraṇyakaśipurbhrātussaṃparetasya duḥkhitaḥ | kṛtvā karodakādīni tatkalatrādyasāṃtvayat
Thương tiếc người anh đã lìa đời, Hiraṇyakaśipu cử hành các nghi lễ tang theo tục lệ, bắt đầu bằng lễ dâng nước; rồi ông an ủi vợ của anh và những thân quyến đang chịu tang.

Tattva Level: pashu
It highlights dharma in the face of loss: even powerful beings must honor the departed through prescribed rites and offer compassion to the living, showing that right conduct steadies the mind amid sorrow.
Though not directly about Liṅga worship, it supports a Shaiva ethic: purity of conduct and compassion are foundations for approaching Saguna Shiva; ritual order and inner steadiness prepare one for Shiva-bhakti and grace.
It points to performing proper antyeṣṭi-related observances such as udaka-offerings (water oblations) and then practicing sāttvika consolation—calming speech and remembrance of dharma—to stabilize the mind.
