śܱ貹ٲٲ (पाशुपतव्रत) refers to the “śܱ貹ٲ� rite� (i.e., “the reite for the release of an individual soul from the bondage of rebirth�), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.9 (“Śiva’s campaign�).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to the Gods: “O excellent gods, you will not fall even in your animal-hood. Let it be heard, and let the process of release from animal-hood be practised. He who performs the divine rite of śܱ貹ٲ will be released from animal-hood. I promise this to you. Be attentive. O excellent gods, there is no doubt about it that those who perform my śܱ貹ٲ rite (śܱ貹ٲٲ) will become liberated [ye cāpyanye kariṣyaṃti vrata� śܱ貹ٲ� mama | mokṣyaṃti]. He who renders service perpetually or for twelve years, becomes relieved of animal-hood. Hence O excellent gods, perform this divine rite. You will be released from animal-hood. There is no doubt about this�.
