Shiva Purana — Rudra Samhita, Shloka 2
देवाः वैकुण्ठगमनम् तथा विष्णोः अवतारस्तुतिः | Devas Go to Vaikuṇṭha and Praise Viṣṇu’s Avatāras
वैकुंठं प्रययुस्सर्वे पुरस्कृत्य प्रजापतिम् । तुष्टुवुस्ते सुरा नत्वा सप्रजापतयोऽखिलाः
vaikuṃṭhaṃ prayayussarve puraskṛtya prajāpatim | tuṣṭuvuste surā natvā saprajāpatayo'khilāḥ
随后众人皆启程前往毗昆陀（Vaikuṇṭha），推举生主（Prajāpati）为先导。诸天与一切生主同来，俯首顶礼，以恭敬之心在彼处赞颂主宰。

FAQs
The verse highlights namaskāra (humble bowing) and stuti (praise) as essential devotional attitudes; even exalted devas approach the divine with reverence, modeling the Shaiva Siddhanta emphasis on surrender and disciplined devotion as supports for grace.
Although the scene is set in Vaikuṇṭha, the act of bowing and praising reflects the same bhakti-pattern used in Saguna Shiva worship—approaching the Lord through reverent stotra and humility, which in Shaiva practice is also directed to Shiva in the Liṅga as the accessible form for devotion.
A practical takeaway is daily namaskāra with stotra-pāṭha: begin worship by bowing, then recite a hymn (or the Pañcākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) with a mind of reverence, mirroring the devas’ disciplined approach.
