Chapter Eighteen·The Greatness of the Śivaliṅga·Verses 1–162
अथाष्टादशोऽध्यायः
The sages ask Sūta to explain bondage and release. Sūta defines the bound soul as one caught in the eightfold bond of prakṛti and its evolutes, and release as mastery over it through Śiva's grace, won by worship in the liṅga and elsewhere. Asked next for the rule of that worship, he sets out the five liṅgas — self-manifest, bindu, installed, movable, and guru — and their pauruṣa/prākṛta grades proper to each varṇa and to women on either path. He explains the three kinds of bhasma (from ordinary, Vedic, and Śiva's own fire), the myth of Śiva gathering the world's essence into the ash he wears, and the rule of wearing it as the triple line. He gives the etymologies of "Śiva" and "guru", the disciple's absolute duty of service, and the śānti-yajña to be performed at every evil omen or misfortune, in full ritual detail. The chapter closes on circumambulation and salutation as the rites dearest to Śiva, their inner meaning as the offering of birth-and-death itself into Śiva's māyā, and the conduct — just wealth, a holy dwelling, silence about one's own practice, open praise of Śiva before devotees — proper to one who takes refuge in the liṅga.ऋषिगण सूत से बन्धन और मोक्ष का स्वरूप पूछते हैं। सूत बद्ध जीव को प्रकृति आदि अष्टविध बन्धन से बँधा हुआ और मोक्ष को शिवकृपा से, लिंगादि की पूजा द्वारा प्राप्त उस बन्धन पर विजय बताते हैं। फिर पूजा-विधि पूछे जाने पर वे पाँच लिंगों — स्वयम्भू, बिन्दु, प्रतिष्ठित, चर और गुरु — का, तथा प्रत्येक वर्ण एवं दोनों मार्गों की स्त्रियों के लिए उपयुक्त पौरुष-प्राकृत भेद का वर्णन करते हैं। वे तीन प्रकार की भस्म (लोकाग्नि, वेदाग्नि, शिवाग्निजनित) का, शिव द्वारा जगत् के सार को भस्म रूप में ग्रहण करने की कथा का, तथा त्रिपुण्ड्रधारण की विधि का निरूपण करते हैं। वे "शिव" और "गुरु" शब्दों की व्युत्पत्ति, शिष्य के गुरुसेवारूप परम कर्तव्य का, तथा प्रत्येक अशुभ शकुन या विपत्ति पर किए जाने वाले शान्तियज्ञ का सांगोपांग विधान बताते हैं। अध्याय के अन्त में प्रदक्षिणा और नमस्कार को शिव के प्रियतम धर्म बताते हुए, उनके आन्तरिक अर्थ — जन्म-मरणरूप द्वन्द्व को शिवमाया में ही समर्पित करना — का, तथा लिंगाश्रित शिवभक्त के आचार — न्यायोपार्जित धन, पवित्र निवास, साधनरहस्य पर मौन, भक्तों के समक्ष शिवमाहात्म्य का खुला प्रकाशन — का वर्णन करके अध्याय समाप्त होता है।
