இத்தையும் அறியார், பீட லிங்கத்தின் இயல்பும் ஓரார்.
As the dual aspects of the Almighty is
Already there everywhere in the cosmic creations and its operations
As Sivam and Sakti; possessing the dual attributes of polarities
All positive and negative; All masculine and feminine;
As opposing and attracting dual forces together interacting with each other
In each and every sentient and insentient (particles and energy) being;
All are stamped and possessed by the Supreme sovereignty
All these through All-Pervasive Supreme Devine Power Siva- Sakti;
Whoever doesn’t know this; wouldn’t know the real meaning of Siva-Linga;
Constitutes Linga, the pole represents Siva and
Peeda, the base represents Sakthi in their inseparable union.
– Siva-jnāna-siddhiyār. Song 89
This universe of mobile and immobile creations and creatures is entirely pervaded by dual polarity (as male and female; positive and negative; south pole and north pole, plus and minus, proton and electron etc.etc.). Every being with the mark of the masculinity should be known to be of Siva; while every being with the mark of the femininity should be known to be of Uma.”
