नन्दिकेश्वरावताराभिषेकविवाहवर्णनम्
Nandikeśvara: Incarnation, Consecration, and Marriage—Description
ईश्वर उवाच । शृणु सत्पुत्र तातस्त्वं सुयशेयन्तव प्रिया । ददामि ते वरम्प्रीत्या यत्ते मनसि वाञ्छितम्
īśvara uvāca | śṛṇu satputra tātastvaṃ suyaśeyantava priyā | dadāmi te varamprītyā yatte manasi vāñchitam
自在天(主湿婆 Śiva)说道:“听着,善子啊——苏耶沙(Suyaśā)所钟爱的孩子。出于慈爱,我赐你一愿;你心中所求者,皆可如愿。”
Lord Shiva (Ishvara)
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Sadāśiva
Role: liberating
The verse highlights Śiva’s anugraha (grace): when devotion ripens, the Lord responds personally and grants what is truly held in the devotee’s heart—often guiding the desire toward auspiciousness and liberation.
This is a Saguna (personal) moment of Śiva as Īśvara—He speaks, blesses, and grants boons. In Linga worship, devotees approach the same compassionate Lord through the Linga as His sacred, accessible presence.
The practical takeaway is prayerful surrender: worship Śiva (especially via Linga-pūjā) and inwardly offer one’s heartfelt intention, coupled with japa of “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” trusting the Lord’s gracious response.
