Gāyatrī-nirvāṇa (गायत्रीनिर्वाणम्) — Śiva-Liṅga Stuti as a Path to Yoga and Nirvāṇa
阿耆尼开示：礼赞湿婆之林伽形相，能依伽雅特丽而成就瑜伽；婆悉吒等诸仙从商羯罗处得名为“涅槃”的至上梵。随后本章展开为凝练的林伽赞：顶礼湿婆为金色、吠陀所显、至上、如虚空、千形万相、炽焰、太初，并为圣典（śruti）所宣说。赞歌渐次将林伽与宇宙及数论诸范畴相融——地下界（pātāla）与梵界（brahma）、未显（avyakta）、觉智（buddhi）、我执（ahaṅkāra）、诸大（bhūta）、诸根（indriya）、微细境（tanmātra）、普鲁沙（puruṣa）、诸有（bhāva）与三德（tri-guṇa）——终以祭祀（yajña）与真理要素（tattva）为其徽相。继而祈求：赐予最高瑜伽、贤善子嗣、不坏之梵与至上安宁。阿耆尼又述缘起：在室利山（Śrīparvata），湿婆因婆悉吒之赞而欢喜，赐其族系不绝与坚固的法意，旋即隐没——使此赞颂既为形上教义，亦为施福之修持。

A layered identification of the liṅga with Sāṃkhya-style tattvas (avyakta, buddhi, ahaṅkāra, indriyas, tanmātras, bhūtas), the tri-guṇas, and yajña/tattva—presenting Śiva as both transcendence and immanence.
It frames stuti as sādhanā: devotion and mantra-yoga yield inner peace and Brahman-realization, while also legitimizing worldly stability through boons such as akṣaya lineage and steadfastness in dharma.
