FAQs
It praises Shiva as the infinite, self-luminous Pati whose glory transcends logic; meditating on such “atarkya mahimā” turns the mind from limited concepts to devotion and inner stillness that supports moksha.

Use this as a stuti before japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), offering bilva leaves or water to the Linga, and then meditate on Shiva’s boundless radiance (ananta-kānti) as the heart’s inner light.
