Sthavaralinga
(स्थावरलिंग)Literal Meaning
The fixed, immovable Linga
Etymology & Sanskrit Root
'Sthavara' (fixed, immovable) plus 'linga'; the stationary Shiva-linga enshrined in temples, contrasted with the portable Ishtalinga every Sharana wears at all times.
Spiritual Insight & Context
Basavanna's famous vachana 'the fixed is perishable, the moving is not' does not reject sthavaralinga outright, but elevates the living, mobile sacredness of the Ishtalinga and Jangama above static stone.
