Chapter Twelve·Discerning the Essential·Verses 1–86
अथ द्वादशोऽध्यायः
Nārada asks Brahmā to elaborate; Brahmā tells of once leading the gathered sages and gods to Viṣṇu at the Kṣīrasāgara, where Viṣṇu, remembering Śiva's feet, tells of the sons of Tārā, who, having neglected the worship of the śivaliṅga, were destroyed — proof that no other worship or merit compensates for neglecting Śiva. The gods beg liṅgas from Viṣṇu; he has Viśvakarmā fashion them, each from a substance suited to its recipient, for every god and sage in turn, and Brahmā returns to teach the assembled gods the rite of worship. The chapter closes with Brahmā's own discourse on the discernment of the essential and non-essential: karma-, tapas-, japa- and dhyāna-sacrifice ranked in ascending worth, the gross liṅga for the ignorant and the subtle for the wise, images as a necessary support until true knowledge dawns, and the analogy of root and branches — Śiva satisfied is all the gods satisfied, but never the reverse.नारद जी ब्रह्मा जी से विस्तार से वर्णन करने का अनुरोध करते हैं; ब्रह्मा जी बताते हैं कि एक बार उन्होंने समस्त ऋषियों और देवताओं को लेकर क्षीरसागर पर विष्णु के पास जाकर उपस्थित हुए, जहाँ शिव के चरणों का स्मरण करते हुए विष्णु तारपुत्रों की कथा सुनाते हैं, जिन्होंने शिवलिंग की पूजा का परित्याग करके विनाश को प्राप्त किया — यह प्रमाण कि शिव की उपेक्षा की भरपाई कोई अन्य पूजा या पुण्य नहीं कर सकता। देवता विष्णु से शिवलिंग माँगते हैं; वे विश्वकर्मा से प्रत्येक देवता के अनुकूल द्रव्य से शिवलिंग बनवाकर सभी को प्रदान करते हैं, और ब्रह्मा जी लौटकर समस्त देवताओं को पूजाविधि सिखाते हैं। अध्याय के अन्त में ब्रह्मा जी सारासार-विचार का उपदेश देते हैं — कर्मयज्ञ, तपयज्ञ, जपयज्ञ और ध्यानयज्ञ का क्रमशः बढ़ता महत्त्व, अज्ञानियों के लिये स्थूल तथा ज्ञानियों के लिये सूक्ष्म लिंग, सच्चे ज्ञान के उदय तक प्रतिमा के आवश्यक अवलम्बन की बात, तथा मूल और शाखा का दृष्टान्त — शिव के तृप्त होने पर सभी देवता तृप्त हो जाते हैं, किंतु इसका उलटा कभी नहीं होता।
