于是,婆罗门当先于自心中安立圣火,而后离家出走为出离者,诵持萨维特丽(伽雅特丽)之第一分,并复宣言“萨维特丽”,以作净化之语。
Suta Goswami (narrating Shiva Purana teachings to the sages at Naimisharanya, within the Kailasha Samhita discourse)
Tattva Level: pashu
Shiva Form: Dakṣiṇāmūrti
Mantra: (indicated) Sāvitrī/Gāyatrī—first pāda only; plus the declarative utterance “sāvitrī”.
Type: gayatri
It teaches that true renunciation is inward: the external sacrificial fire is gathered into the self (inner discipline and awareness), and the seeker departs household identity toward liberation—aligning with Shaiva Siddhanta’s emphasis on purification and turning the mind toward Pati (Shiva).
By internalizing Agni and stabilizing mantra-recitation, the practitioner shifts from outer rites to inner worship—supporting Saguna Shiva worship as disciplined upasana that matures into deeper contemplation, where Shiva is realized as the indwelling Lord beyond ritual dependence.
A pravrajya-oriented practice: mentally ‘install’ the sacred fire within (inner tapas) and recite the first pāda of the Sāvitrī (Gāyatrī) with a deliberate utterance of “Sāvitrī,” as a mantra-sankalpa that steadies the mind for renunciant life.
