nAdevo devamarcayet might be a general statement; but in the ancient unpublished text of Sivadharma, there is a passage:

nārudraḥ saṁsmared rudraṃ nārudro rudram arcayet .

nārudraḥ kīrtayed rudraṃ nārudro rudram āpnuyāt .. (Sivadharma, 1: 25)

This idea and the passage may be the basis for all later views expressed in the same fashion.

Dear List members,

what is the source of the citation “nAdevo devam arcayet”?

It is quoted as “vedic saying” (Coomaraswamy) and “tantrik saying” (Eliade and others), but I haven’t ever seen the precise reference.

Thanking you in advance,
