Vāyu said: The eternal and immutable region of Śiva, the status of sharing the same world as Rudra, has been attained by those who sought refuge in Maheśvara with single-minded devotion, by not thinking of anything else. Their inner soul is sanctified by means of pure thoughts, words and deeds. They glitter on account of their modesty and simplicity. They are not greedy. They have perfect control over their sense-organs and they are endowed with heroism.
