शुक्रस्य जठरस्थत्वं तथा मृत्युशमनी-विद्या (Śukra in Śiva’s belly and the death-subduing vidyā)
सनत्कुमार उवाच । इत्युक्त्वा सोधकं शुक्रो विद्यामावर्तयत्क विः । एकैकं दैत्यमुद्दिश्य स्मृत्वा विद्येशमादरात्
sanatkumāra uvāca | ityuktvā sodhakaṃ śukro vidyāmāvartayatka viḥ | ekaikaṃ daityamuddiśya smṛtvā vidyeśamādarāt
Sanatkumāra nói: Nói xong như vậy, Śukra—bậc hiền trí—liền khởi động nghi thức tẩy tịnh bằng cách vận dụng minh chú và tri kiến thánh của mình. Nhớ đến Vidyeśa với lòng cung kính, ông hướng năng lực ấy đến từng Daitya, lần lượt từng kẻ một.

It shows that even powerful mantra-knowledge becomes truly efficacious when anchored in Shiva-smaraṇa (reverent remembrance of Vidyeśa), emphasizing Shiva as the inner sanctifier behind all transformative rites.
Vidyeśa is invoked as a personal (saguṇa) Lord who empowers sacred knowledge; this mirrors Linga-worship where the devotee approaches Shiva as the accessible divine presence who grants purity and protection.
A practical takeaway is Shiva-smaraṇa before mantra-japa or any śodhana: begin by mentally invoking Shiva (Vidyeśa) with devotion, then apply the mantra/rite steadily and specifically (one-by-one) as intended.
