But we cannot neglect Appayya Diksita's words and other Srutis and
Smrutis asking Brahmins to worship Siva. As a matter of fact Siva is
the foremost God for Brahmins. Vishnu is partial to Kshatriyas. In
many Avatars Vishnu is Kshatriya only. Therefore for Brahmins Siva is
the foremost God. Without worshiping Siva if a Brahmin is worshipping
others he is ruined. For Vaishyas Brahma is the God and for Sudras
Indra or Ganapati are gods.
त्वं देवानां ब्राह्मणानामधिपतिर्विष्णुः क्षत्रियाणामधिपतिः ।
ब्राह्मणानां ब्राह्मणैराश्रीयते इत्यादि श्रुतिषु ब्राह्मणानां
शिवोपासनस्यैव विधेयत्वात् ।

ब्राह्मणानां शिवो देवः क्षत्रियाणान्तु माधवः । वैश्यानान्तु तथा
ब्रह्मा शूद्राणां सुरनायकः ।

ब्राह्मणो भगवान् रुद्रः क्षत्रियः परमो हरिः । पितामहस्तथा वैश्यो
वृषलस्तु पुरन्दरः ॥ इत्यादि मनुपाराशर्यादिषु वैदिकब्राह्मणानां
शिवदेवत्वश्रवणात्।
