In the sacred narrative, it is revealed that there exists One whose Self permeates all that is moving and unmoving. This subtle Self is immortal, the lord of the sacred bull, and the sage among the Sādhyas, Vasus, and Ādityas. He shines with radiance as the sun itself, embodying immortality. He is known as Vyāsa, the force of creation, the concise summary and the expansion of all, the principle of change, and the essence of man. He is the very season, the year, the month, the fortnight, and the completion of enumeration, marking the passage and measurement of time. He is the divisions of time itself: kalā, kāṣṭhā, lava, mātrā, muhūrta, ahaḥ, kṣapā, and kṣaṇa. He is the field of the universe, the seed of all beings, the primal liṅga, and the origin from which all emergence springs forth. He encompasses existence and non-existence, both the manifest and the unmanifest. He is father, mother, and grandfather—the source of all lineage. He stands as the gate to heaven, the gate to all beings, the gate to liberation, and the highest realm attainable. He is nirvāṇa and delight, the world of Brahma, and the supreme path. He is the creator of gods and demons, and the ultimate refuge for both. He is the teacher of gods and demons, the deity worshipped by both, the great measure among them, and the shelter for their hosts. He is the overseer and the foremost among the hosts of gods and asuras, the god above all gods, the divine sage, and the bestower of boons to both gods and asuras. He is the lord of gods and asuras, the all-pervading one, the great lord composed of all the gods, inconceivable, the very soul of divine powers, and self-born. He is the sprouter, the one of three strides, the healer, stainless and taintless, immortal and worthy of praise. He is the lord of elephants, the tiger, the lion among gods, and the bull among men. He is wise, the foremost and best, subtle, composed of all gods, of the essence of austerity, well-equipped and splendid. He wields the thunderbolt, is the origin of spears, and is imperishable. He is the hidden one, the beloved, the origin of himself, pure and the purifier of all. He bears horns, delights in peaks, is tawny-colored, king of kings, and free from disease. He is delightful, lord of the gods, the final rest, the means to all accomplishments. His eye is on the forehead; he is the god of the universe, golden-hued, and radiant with the brilliance of Brahman. He is the lord of immovable beings, the increaser of disciplined senses, accomplished in purpose, whose being is perfection, inconceivable, true in vow, and pure. He is the lord of vows, the supreme Brahman, the highest goal of devotees, the bestower of grace upon them. He is liberated, radiant with liberation, glorious, the increaser of prosperity, and the universe itself. Thus concludes the Śrī Śiva Sahasranāma Stotram – Uttara Pīṭhika, the fruit of recitation.
