140 A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
It is accomplished through the favour (grace) of Śiva in the
form of the Iṣṭaliṅga. (6)
शिवप्रसादं यद्द्रव्यं शिवाय विनिवेदितम्।
निर्माल्यं तत्तु शैवानां मनोनेर्मल्यकारणम्।।७।।
That object which is offered to Śiva is the Prasāda
(token of grace) of Śiva. That left over (after being offered
to Śiva) is the cause for the mental purity of Śaiva devotees.
(7)
मनःप्रसादसिद्ध्यर्थं निर्मलज्ञानकारणम्।
शिवप्रसादं स्वीकुर्वन् प्रसादीत्येष कथ्यते।।८।।
By partaking the Prasāda of Śiva which is the cause for
the purity of mind, for achieving the tranquility of mind, he is
called "Prasādin". (8)
अन्नशुद्ध्या हि सर्वेषां तत्त्वशुद्धिरुदाहृता।
विशुद्धमन्नजातं हि यच्छिवाय समर्पितम्।।९।।
तदेव सर्वकालं तु भुञ्जानो लिङ्गतत्परः।
मनःप्रसादमतुलं लभते ज्ञानकारणम्।।१०।।
It is through the purity of food that the purity of
principles is told in the case of all. Whatever that is offered
to Śiva is the pure food article. (9) He who is devoted to the
Liṅga, partakes it at all times and attains immence calmness
of mind which is in turn the cause of knowledge. (10)
आत्मभोगाय नियतं यद्यद्द्रव्यं समाहितम्।
तत्तत् समर्प्य देवाय भुञ्जीयादात्मशुद्धये ।।११।।
Whatever object is received as meant for one’s
enjoyment, all that should be first dedicated to Śiva and then
partaken for the purification of one’s self. (11)
नित्यसिद्धेन देवेन भिषजा जन्मरोगिणाम्।

यद्यत् प्रसादितं भुक्त्वा तत्तज्जन्मरसायनम्।।१२।।
Whatever object that is granted as ‘Prasāda’ after
having partaken it by the Lord, who is ever present (in the
Iṣṭaliṅga or Śivaliṅga) and who is the physician for those
suffering from the disease of transmigration, all that is the
curing elixir for the disease of transmigration. (12)
आरोग्यकारणं पुंसामन्तःकरणशुद्धिदम्।
तापत्रयमहारोगसमुद्धरणभेषजम् ।।१३।।
विद्यावैशद्यकरणं विनिपातविघातनम्।
द्वारं ज्ञानावतारस्य मोहोच्छेदस्य कारणम्।।१४।।
वैराग्यसम्पदो मूलं महानन्दप्रवर्धनम्।
दुर्लभं पापचित्तानां सुलभं शुद्धकर्मणाम्।।१५।।
आदृतं ब्रह्मविष्णुवाद्यैर्वसिष्ठाद्यैश्च तापसैः।
शिवस्वीकृतमन्नाद्यं स्वीकार्यं सिद्धिकाङ्क्षिभिः।।१६।।
The Prasāda (of Śiva) is the cause for health, the
purifier of the internal senses of human beings, the medicine
for raising the human beings from the great disease in the
form of three afflictions, the instrument for clarity of
knowledge, the means of preventing men from degradation,
the door for the advent of knowledge, the cause for the
eradication of delusion, the source for the wealth of
renunciation, the enhancer of great bliss, that which is
inaccessible to those with sinful minds, that which is
accessible to those with pure minds and that which is
accepted by Brahman, Viṣṇu, etc., and by the seers such as
Vasiṣṭha, etc. The food, etc., which are partaken by Śiva
should be taken by those who aspire for the highest good.
