Purport

The word viviktam is very significant. No one should think of the prayers recited by Lord Śiva as being sectarian. Rather, they are very confidential, so much so that anyone desiring the ultimate prosperity or auspicious goal of life must take the instructions of Lord Śiva and pray to and glorify the Supreme Personality of Godhead as Lord Śiva himself did.

Translation
Please hear this distinct, pure, auspicious, supreme mantra to be chanted, which bestows the highest benefit. I tell this to you.
