[Note 1: the meaning is 'joined with destruction.'] Om. Thus, in the glorious Śiva Mahāpurāṇa, in the seventh (section), in the Vāyavīya Saṃhitā, in the latter part, the fourteenth chapter, called 'The Description of the Greatness of the Five Syllables.' Chapter 15. Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: Lord, the greatness of the mantra has been told by you, O master, and the rule for its application, just as it is, equal to direct scripture.

samyak kṛtādhikāraḥ syātpūjādiṣu naro yataḥ saṃskāraḥ kathyate tena ṣaḍadhvapariśodhanam

śaktipātānusāreṇa śiṣyo 'nugrahamarhati śaivadharmānusārasya tanmūlatvātsamāsataḥ
