7. "Whom in the Upanishads they call Sole Spirit [Puruṣa], abidingly immanent thruout heaven and earth; in case of whom the word Lord [Içvara], since it properly belongs to no other, has its syllables true to their meaning; whom seekers of salvation search after within (their own hearts), by restraint of breath and such (ascetic practices);—may he, the Immovable [Çiva], whom steadfast devotion and earnest-endeavor [yoga] may easily find, work your final beatitude." [This is the first stanza of Kālidāsa's play, Vikramorvaçī.]
