Notes:
Ṛṣi Agastya ##R^iShi agastya## delivers Upadeśa ##upadesha## (to Ṛṣi Vasiśṭha ##R^iShi vasiShTha## et al) about worshiping Śiva ##shiva## with great effort through Rudrādhyāya japa ##rudrAdhyAya japa## and the ŚivaPañcākṣara Mantra ##shivapa~nchAkShara mantra## viz., Namaḥ Śivāya ##namaH shivAya##, that indeed is the MantraRāja ##mantrarAja## and MantraŚiromaṇi ##mantrashiromaNi##. He mentions about being adorned with Bhasma ##bhasma##, Rudrākṣa ##rudrAkSha## and Tripuṇḍra ##tripuNDra##; and highlights that there is no relief from suffering or liberation from the bondage of material existence without worship of Śiva ##shiva##.##
