Họ cổ xúy những giáo thuyết được nêu trong truyền thống Phật giáo—những giáo thuyết chỉ gây niềm tin nơi điều thấy ngay trước mắt và chỉ nhắm đến sự an lạc của thân xác—từ đó quay lưng với Veda, thẩm quyền tối thượng cho dharma và giải thoát.

Significance: Frames ‘Veda-paratva’ (Veda as highest authority) as a safeguard against doctrines seen as reducing dharma to empiricism and bodily comfort; in Siddhānta, such reductionism is read as bondage (pāśa) through avidyā and mis-aimed puruṣārtha.
It contrasts sense-based, worldly aims with Veda-rooted dharma that culminates in liberation, aligning with the Shaiva Siddhanta emphasis on transcending mere bodily pleasure toward Shiva-realization.
By upholding Vedic authority, it implicitly supports Veda-sanctioned Shaiva worship—such as Linga-pūjā and devotion to Saguna Shiva—as valid means that purify the soul and lead toward the supreme (Pati).
The takeaway is to follow Veda-aligned Shaiva practice—regular Shiva worship with mantra-japa (especially the Panchākṣarī, “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) and disciplined dharma—rather than pursuing paths aimed only at bodily comfort.
