अध्याय 91: अरिष्ट-लक्षण, मृत्यु-संस्कार, पाशुपत-धारणा तथा ओङ्कार-उपासना
अग्निप्रवेशं कुरुते स्वप्नान्ते यस्तु मानवः स्मृतिं नोपलभेच्चापि तदन्तं तस्य जीवितम्
agnipraveśaṃ kurute svapnānte yastu mānavaḥ smṛtiṃ nopalabheccāpi tadantaṃ tasya jīvitam
若有人在梦境将尽之时，见自身入于火中，而后又不能复得清明的忆念，则此刻即被称为其色身寿命之界限。对被缚之灵——paśu——而言，此相示 prārabdha‑karma 将近耗尽；唯有以敬奉湿婆之修持，令主宰 Pati（Śiva）欢喜，方可转机。

FAQs
It treats dream-signs as indicators of prārabdha-karma nearing completion; the implied remedy in a Śaiva frame is turning to Pati through Liṅga-pūjā, japa, and protective rites to seek Śiva’s grace and steadiness of consciousness.
By implication, it contrasts the paśu’s fragile, memory-bound embodied state with the need for refuge in Pati—Śiva as the sovereign Lord beyond death-signs, who can loosen pāśa (bondage) and grant auspiciousness and clarity.
The verse itself is an ayus-nimitta (lifespan omen); the Śaiva takeaway is to adopt Śiva-upāsanā—Liṅga-arcana, mantra-japa (e.g., pañcākṣarī), and inner steadiness (yogic smṛti) to counter fear and inauspicious indications.
