नन्दिकेश्वरावताराभिषेकविवाहवर्णनम्
Nandikeśvara: Incarnation, Consecration, and Marriage—Description
विष्ण्वादयः सुरास्सर्व्वे प्रशंसन्तो ह्यमी तदा । स्वधामानि ययुः प्रीत्या संस्तुवन्तः शिवं शिवम्
viṣṇvādayaḥ surāssarvve praśaṃsanto hyamī tadā | svadhāmāni yayuḥ prītyā saṃstuvantaḥ śivaṃ śivam
Bấy giờ, tất cả chư thiên—đứng đầu là Viṣṇu—đều tán dương Ngài; rồi trong niềm hoan hỷ, họ trở về các thiên cung của mình, không ngừng ca tụng Śiva, Đấng Cát Tường vĩnh hằng.

It shows that even the highest devas, including Vishnu, acknowledge Shiva as the supremely auspicious Lord; sustained praise (stuti) expresses bhakti and aligns the mind with Shiva’s grace, which Shaiva Siddhanta sees as essential for liberation.
The devas’ repeated glorification highlights Saguna Shiva—Shiva approached through name, form, and qualities (śivaṃ śivam). Such stuti naturally supports Linga worship, where devotees praise the visible symbol of the formless Supreme.
Practice steady stuti and japa—especially the Panchakshara mantra “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”—with a joyful, reverent mind; this verse emphasizes continuous remembrance while returning to one’s daily duties.
