Pañcāvaraṇa & Upacāras
तस्मादनेनैव पथा गतश्शिवं शिवोहमस्मीति शिवो भवेद्यतिः । पितामहादिप्रविभागमुक्तये नद्यो यथासिन्धुमिमाः प्रयान्ति
tasmādanenaiva pathā gataśśivaṃ śivohamasmīti śivo bhavedyatiḥ | pitāmahādipravibhāgamuktaye nadyo yathāsindhumimāḥ prayānti
因此，唯循此道而行，遁世者得至湿婆；证悟“我即湿婆”，便安住于湿婆。为解脱诸如“梵天及其余”等一切差别分判，众生归流于一，如诸河终入大海。
