噢，牟尼之主啊，即便是湿婆，斩下那首级之后，只要那痛苦尚存，便同样承受哀伤；而在同样的时日里，吉利迦女神（帕尔瓦蒂）亦怒火炽盛不息。

It highlights that even in Saguna-līlā, the Lord mirrors the moral weight of action—grief and wrath arise in the narrative to teach restraint, accountability, and the restoration of dharma, while affirming that Pati (Śiva) ultimately guides beings beyond sorrow toward liberation.
The verse belongs to a leela-context where emotions appear around Śiva’s acts; devotees approach Saguna Śiva through such stories, then steady the mind in Linga-worship as the symbol of the transcendent Pati beyond change, anger, and grief.
A practical takeaway is japa of the Pañcākṣarī—“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”—to cool anger and sorrow, paired with simple Śiva-pūjā (water offering to the Liṅga) as an act of inner purification and self-restraint.
