English

पञ्चायतन / PAÑCĀYATANA. An idol of śiva in kāśī. This idol is called Oṁkāra also. Bhagavān Parameśvara who gives mokṣa to men dwells in this idol in the form of pañcāyatana. The five souls of śiva are the five āyatanas. They are śānti (tranquillity),  Atītaśānti (passed beyond tranquillity),  Parāparavidyā (Greater and smaller knowledge),  pratiṣṭhā (celebrity) and Nivṛtti (Recession). Because these five āyatanas dwell in the idol of śiva at kāśī it got the name pañcāyatana. (Chapter 34,  padma purāṇa).
