प्रणवविभागः—वेदस्वरूपत्वं लिङ्गे च प्रतिष्ठा
The Division of Oṃ, Its Vedic Forms, and Its Placement in the Liṅga

Ngài không có dấu tướng để định danh, vượt ngoài mọi mô tả, chẳng phải đối tượng của lời nói hay tâm trí. Ngài là một vị của Ánh Sáng thuần tịnh (Ý thức), hằng an tịnh và rực sáng, hằng thanh thản từ hòa, vĩnh viễn tự hiển lộ.
Suta Goswami (narrating the Vāyavīyasaṃhitā teaching to the sages of Naimiṣāraṇya)
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Dakṣiṇāmūrti
Type: stotra
Role: teaching
It points to Shiva as Pati—the supreme Reality who transcends all limiting attributes, yet is directly realizable as self-luminous Consciousness; liberation comes by turning inward from names and forms to that ever-present Light.
The Linga functions as a sacred support for meditation: while the verse describes Shiva as beyond speech and mind (nirguṇa), Linga-worship (saguṇa-upāsanā) steadies devotion and leads the seeker toward realizing the same formless, self-effulgent Shiva.
Silent dhyāna on Shiva as prakāśa (inner light) is primary; in practice, this can be joined with japa of the Pañcākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” and calm, sattvic worship to cultivate śānti (tranquility) and prasāda (clarity/grace).
