Praṇava-Māhātmya and the Twofold Mantra (Sūkṣma–Sthūla) in Śaiva Sādhanā
समाधिस्थो महायोगीशिव एव न संशयः । ऋषिच्छंदोदेवतादि न्यस्य देहेपुनर्जपेत्
samādhistho mahāyogīśiva eva na saṃśayaḥ | ṛṣicchaṃdodevatādi nyasya dehepunarjapet
An trụ trong samādhi, bậc Đại Yogin quả thật chính là Śiva — không nghi ngờ gì. Sau khi thực hiện nyāsa: đặt lên thân mình danh của ṛṣi, chandas, devatā và các phần khác, người ấy nên lại trì tụng (japa) lần nữa.

FAQs
It teaches that deep absorption (samādhi) culminates in Śiva-consciousness: the perfected yogin realizes identity with Śiva, while continuing disciplined mantra-practice grounded in śāstric method.
Nyāsa and japa are Saguna, ritual-structured supports that purify the body-mind and steady devotion; through them, the seeker ripens toward the inner realization of Śiva beyond limitation, which is the fruit of Linga-worship and Shaiva sādhana.
Perform mantra-nyāsa (ṛṣi–chandas–devatā, etc.) on the body, then resume japa—ideally with steady dhyāna/samādhi—so the mantra becomes embodied and contemplative rather than merely verbal.
