tma-śuddhim abhīpsatām
ātma-śuddhim abhīpsatām
yad-bhakti-yogo 'bhayadaḥ
sva-dharmam anutiṣṭhatām
Desiring purification of the jīva, one should repeatedly meditate on this form. Devotion to this form gives freedom from fear of death, even to those practicing varṇāśrama duties.
Śiva gives some special information in this verse. As long as one has not seen the Lord, the sādhaka bhakta, desiring purification of the jīva, the removal of ignorance, must repeatedly meditate (anudhyeyam) on this form. The devotee should not purify his identity by any other means. Just as purification of the body was described through offering respects to Vāsudeva and other deities, here there is purification of the jīva by repeated meditation on the beauty of the Lord. After this, the devotee sees the Lord and becomes his associate. Thus the goal of the śuddha-bhakta has been shown.How can bhakti be glorified? Even for persons performing their prescribed duties in different stages of life, bhakti-yoga gives freedom from fear of death.

Desired by Brahmā, sought by the Kumāras and other knowers of ātmā, who have given up material aspirations, you who are rarely attained by any living being are attained by your devotees.
I will praise this form again. You are desired by he who has control over the upper planets, Brahmā. You are sought (gatiḥ) by the knowers of ātmā such as the Kumāras.

taṁ durārādhyam ārādhya
satām api durāpayā
ekānta-bhaktyā ko vāñchet
pāda-mūlaṁ vinā bahiḥ
Who would desire the happiness of Svarga, devoid of your lotus feet which are difficult to attain, but attained by worshipping you by pure bhakti, which also difficult to attain?
In three verses Śiva further praises the Lord. Bahiḥ refers to the happiness of Svarga.
