FAQs
It highlights the limitation of even the highest devas in controlling cosmic disorder; in the Linga Purana this prepares the ground for recognizing Pati (Śiva) as the ultimate refuge, toward whom Linga-worship is directed for overcoming pasha (bondage) and restoring dharma.
Indirectly: when Brahmā, Indra, and others cannot subdue the turmoil, the narrative implies that supreme sovereignty does not rest in deva-force but in the transcendent Lord (Pati). This is consistent with Śaiva Siddhānta, where Śiva alone grants mastery over pasha and liberates the pashu.
No specific ritual is prescribed in this line; the takeaway is the yogic principle of śaraṇāgati (taking refuge) and the need to seek higher divine support—culminating in Śaiva upāsanā (Linga-pūjā) and Pāśupata-oriented discipline in the broader chapter context.
