त्वमेको द्वित्वमापन्नः शिवशक्तिप्रभेदतः । त्वं ज्ञानरूपो भगवान्स्वेच्छा शक्तिस्वरूपिणी
tvameko dvitvamāpannaḥ śivaśaktiprabhedataḥ | tvaṃ jñānarūpo bhagavānsvecchā śaktisvarūpiṇī
你本为一,却因湿婆与圣力(Śiva-Śakti)的分别而显为二。噢吉祥的主,你以觉知与智慧为体;而你的神力则是你自身自在意志之形。
Pūtātmā
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A unified icon where Śiva and Śakti are shown as two aspects of one reality—either as Ardhanārīśvara symbolism or as two figures sharing a single aura—emphasizing consciousness and will as complementary.
The One Reality expresses as Śiva-Śakti: consciousness and power are two aspects of a single divine essence.
The teaching is embedded in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s Kāśī context, reinforcing Kāśī as the seat of Śiva’s supreme doctrine and grace.
No specific ritual is stated; it provides doctrinal grounding for worship that honors both Śiva and Śakti.
