अन्यदीक्षायुजां नॄणां शिवभक्तिरतात्मनाम् । शृणुध्वं निर्णयं प्रीत्या शिवनैवेद्यभक्षणे १२ ।
Please listen to the decision with pleasure on partaking of Śiva’s Naivedya by persons who take initiation in other cults but maintain their devotion to Siva.
शिवदीक्षान्वितो भक्तो महाप्रसादसंज्ञकम् । सर्वेषामपि लिंगानां नैवेद्यं भक्षयेच्छुभम् ११ ।
A devotee who has received the initiation (Shiva Diksha) and is blessed with great grace should not consume the offerings (naivedya) or food of any Shiva Linga unless it is pure and auspicious.
In Kashmir, in all the Jyotirlingas, especially those made of crystal and gems, it is said that consuming the offerings (naivedya) is not permissible, similar to the restrictions of the Chandra Yana fast.
