the male and female
energies
that co-exist
harmoniously in
Lord Shiva.

4. Observation 1:
The meaning of the lines :
1. Jaya kailasa pate shiva shankara
2. Sa amba sada shiva shambho
3. Parthi eshwara sai shiva shambho
 ‘Sa’ means together ; ‘amba’ means mother ;
 ‘Sai’ = ‘Sa’ + ‘ ai ‘; ‘Sa’ means together and ‘ai’ means
mother.
 Basically , the line 2 refers to the one who is both the
Mother and Father, residing in Kailash.
 The line 3 refers to the one who is both the the Mother
and Father, who is the Lord of Parthi.

5. Observation 2:
 The lines 4 and 5 bring out the combination of
success and humility in Shiva.
 The lines say that he is ‘Saileshwara’ : The Lord of
the Mountain, symbolizing the one who has achieved
a lot and climbed the mountain of success.
 At the same time, He is full of compassion and
Performs the Lingodhbhava , going through all the
pain for the welfare of Humanity.
 These show how the opposite energies (male and
female) co-exist in Shiva !

6. Observation 3:
 The lines 6 and 7 bring out the fact that Lord Shiva is
the Master of Life. He drinks Poison and nothing
happens to Him.
 He is indeed the Master of the Life force !
 He gives Life in the form of Ganga and takes away
Life in the form of Trishula.
 This also exhibits the co-existence of opposite
energies in Shiva.
