Notes:
Ṛṣi Gautama ##R^iShi gautama## delivers Upadeśa ##upadesha## about the merits of reciting the ŚivaNāma ##shivanAma## with devotion. He mentions that the Śiva Pañcākṣarī Vidyā ##shiva pa~nchAkSharI vidyA## is indeed BrahmaVidyā ##brahmavidyA##.
He further elaborates that amongst all Vidyā-s, VedaVidyā ##vedavidyA## is the best; and among the Veda-s ##vedAH##, there is the magnificent Rudrādhyāya ##rudrAdhyAya## in which is mentioned the Supreme Śiva Pañcākṣarī Vidyā ##shiva pa~nchAkSharI vidyA## - and that is known as the MahāVidyā ##mahAvidyA## and the MokṣaVidyā ##mokShavidyA##. While the worlds merge into the Veda-s ##vedAH##, the latter merge into Rudrādhyāya ##rudrAdhyAya## - which itself merges into the Śiva Pañcākṣara ##shiva pa~nchAkShara## - which is Pure and does not merge into anything.
Ṛṣi Gautama ##R^iShi gautama## explains that Śiva Pañcākṣara ##shiva pa~nchAkShara## is the Eternal Brahma ##brahma##; and the two syllabled name (DvayakṣaraNāma ##dvayakSharanAma##) ``Śiva ##shiva##'' is the Unmanifest (Avyakta) Parama Brahma ##avyakta parama brahma##.
In later part of the chapter, Ṛṣi Gautama ##R^iShi gautama## shares that this ParamāVidyā ##paramAvidyA## was understood by Śivā ##shivA##, and with due instruction from Mahādeva ##mahAdeva## the same was passed on by Her to Her Son Ṣaṇmukha ##ShaNmukha## who further passed it on to Nandikeśa ##nandikesha##. It was subsequently passed on to Ṛṣi Agastya ##R^iShi agastya## who expounded it to him (Ṛṣi Gautama ##R^iShi gautama##).
