संध्याचरित्रवर्णनम् (Sandhyā-caritra-varṇana) — “Account of Sandhyā’s Story”
यन्मां पिता भ्रातरश्च सकाममपरोक्षतः । दृष्ट्वा चक्रुस्स्पृहां तस्मान्न मत्तः पापकृत्परा
yanmāṃ pitā bhrātaraśca sakāmamaparokṣataḥ | dṛṣṭvā cakrusspṛhāṃ tasmānna mattaḥ pāpakṛtparā
他们亲眼见到我时,我的父亲与诸兄弟被世间欲念所驱,竟以贪恋之心窥视于我。因此,世上无人比我更为罪重。
Satī (speaking within the Rudra Saṃhitā narrative as recounted by Sūta to the sages)
Tattva Level: pasha
Shiva Form: Sadāśiva
Shakti Form: Satī
Role: teaching
It highlights how kāma (desire) degrades discernment and dharma, and how a devotee of Śiva longs for inner purity and detachment when confronted with adharma.
By contrasting worldly covetousness with Satī’s Shaiva ideal, the verse implicitly points to taking refuge in Saguna Śiva (as the compassionate Lord) for purification and steadiness of mind.
Cultivate vairāgya through japa of the Pañcākṣarī mantra ("Om Namaḥ Śivāya") and mental restraint; such disciplines are the Shaiva remedy for the disturbances caused by kāma.
