Chapter Eighteen·Bondage and Release, Śiva Worship in the Liṅga and Elsewhere, the Glory of Ash, the Words Śiva and Guru, Calming Obstacles, and the Dharma of Śiva·Verses 1–162
अथाष्टादशोऽध्यायः
The sages ask Sūta to explain bondage and release. He says the soul is bound by eight bonds that begin with prakṛti, and is spun round like a wheel by its three bodies and its actions. Only Śiva, who stands beyond prakṛti, can stop the wheel, and his grace is won by worship. Step by step the worshipper gains sharing Śiva's world, nearness, equal lordship and union. Sūta then lists the five kinds of liṅga: self-born, bindu, installed, movable and guru. He says which liṅga suits each class, and women on either path. He describes the three kinds of ash and how Śiva burnt the world and wore its essence as ash. He explains the name Śiva and the word guru, and says the guru's body is itself a liṅga to be served. Next he gives the full rite of peace to be done when evil omens appear. The chapter ends with circling and bowing, the rites dearest to Śiva, and with the quiet, honest life a devotee of Śiva should lead.ऋषि सूतजीसे बन्धन और मोक्षका स्वरूप पूछते हैं। वे बताते हैं कि जीव प्रकृति आदि आठ बन्धनोंसे बँधा है और अपने तीन शरीरों और कर्मोंसे पहियेकी तरह घूमता रहता है। प्रकृतिसे परे शिव ही इस पहियेको रोक सकते हैं, और उनकी कृपा पूजासे मिलती है। पूजा करनेवाला धीरे-धीरे सालोक्य, समीपता, सार्ष्टि और सायुज्य पाता है। फिर सूतजी पाँच प्रकारके लिंग बताते हैं: स्वयम्भू, बिन्दु, प्रतिष्ठित, चर और गुरु। वे बताते हैं कि किस वर्णके लिये और दोनों मार्गोंकी स्त्रियोंके लिये कौन-सा लिंग उचित है। वे तीन प्रकारकी भस्मका और यह वर्णन करते हैं कि शिवने जगत्को जलाकर उसका सार भस्मरूपमें धारण किया। वे शिव नाम और गुरु शब्दका अर्थ समझाते हैं और कहते हैं कि गुरुका शरीर ही सेवा करने योग्य लिंग है। फिर वे अशुभ उत्पात दिखनेपर किये जानेवाले शान्तियज्ञकी पूरी विधि बताते हैं। अध्यायके अन्तमें शिवको सबसे प्रिय प्रदक्षिणा और नमस्कारका, और शिवभक्तके शान्त और ईमानदार जीवनका वर्णन है।
