कृत्वा पञ्चकलान्यासं दीप्तं लिंगमनुस्मरेत् । आवाहयेच्छिवौ साक्षात्प्राञ्जलिः प्रागुदङ्मुखः
kṛtvā pañcakalānyāsaṃ dīptaṃ liṃgamanusmaret | āvāhayecchivau sākṣātprāñjaliḥ prāgudaṅmukhaḥ
Sau khi thực hiện nyāsa của năm kalā, hãy quán niệm Liṅga rực sáng. Chắp tay cung kính, quay mặt về hướng đông hoặc bắc, hãy thỉnh mời Śiva đích thân hiện diện.

It teaches that disciplined preparation (pañcakalā-nyāsa) and focused remembrance of the radiant Liṅga make the mind fit for Śiva’s direct presence—aligning devotion (bhakti) with inner yogic concentration for grace and purification.
The Liṅga is presented as a luminous support for saguna worship: by meditating on it as ‘dīpta’ (radiant) and performing invocation (āvāhana), the devotee approaches Śiva as immediately present, while recognizing Him as the supreme Pati beyond limitation.
Perform pañcakalā-nyāsa, then meditate on the radiant Liṅga, and do āvāhana with añjali while facing east or north—an instruction that complements mantra-japa (such as the Pañcākṣarī) and steady dhyāna during Śiva-pūjā.
