सर्वथा न परित्याज्यं गुरूणां वचनं द्विजाः॥ गृहं वसेद्वा शून्यं स्यान्मे हठस्सुखदस्सदा॥६१॥

sanskrit

O brahmins, the advice of the preceptors is not to be eschewed at all. Whether it leads to the attachment of a household or otherwise, my tenacity will remain pleasing to me for ever.

गुणालयो विहारी च विष्णुस्सत्यं प्रकीर्तितः ॥ सदाशिवोऽगुणः प्रोक्तस्तत्र कारण मुच्यते ॥ ६३ ॥

sanskrit

When you glorify Viṣṇu as the abode of noble qualities or as a sportive deity I do not contradict. As to your statement that Sadāśiva is devoid of attributes I shall tell you the reason.

शिवो ब्रह्माविकारः स भक्तहेतोर्धृताकृतिः ॥ प्रभुतां लौकिकीं नैव संदर्शयितुमिच्छति॥।६४।

sanskrit

Śiva is Brahman, unchanging and without aberration. He assumes shapes and forms for the welfare of his devotees. He does not make a show of worldly lordship.

Therefore he assumes the attitude and behaviour of great Yogins. Śiva is a supreme bliss personified and an Avadhūta in form.
