It frames the Shiva-Linga as the “unsurpassed great treasure” and warns that failing to honor it turns even a rare spiritual attainment into futility—an implicit critique of Linga-avajñā (disrespect/neglect).
By calling the object of attainment the “anuttama mahānidhi,” it points to Shiva as Pati—the supreme, incomparable refuge—whose grace is the true wealth that liberates the paśu from pāśa.
The takeaway is vigilance in Shiva-upāsanā—steady Linga-pūjā with reverence and right intention—since negligence (pramāda) obstructs Pāśupata-oriented purification and merit.
