shiva in kAraNDavyUha

The karaNDavyUha a counter-religious saugata text states that after emitting the deva-s from various parts of his body avalokiteshvara told rudra who had emerged from his forehead (lalATAn maheshvaraH |) that:

भविष्यसि त्वं महेश्वरः कलियुगे प्रतिपन्ने कष्ट-सत्त्व-धातु-समुत्पन्न आदिदेव, आख्यायसे स्रष्टारं कर्तारम् (इव)
at the start of the kaliyuga he would be known as the primal god who is the creater & agent of existence in the troubled sentient beings.
ते सर्वसत्त्वा बोधिमार्गेण विप्रहीणा भविष्यन्ति
Those sentient beings are will become uneducated in the bauddhamata.
य ईदृश-पृथग्-जनेषु सत्त्वेषु सांकथ्यं कुर्वन्ति॥ Among such ordinary people & beings a teaching would be made.

आकाशं लिङ्गमित्याहुः पृथिवी तस्य पीठिका।
आलयः सर्वभूतानां लीलया लिङ्गमुच्यते॥
It is said the sky is his liNga, the earth is its foundation.
It is the residence of all beings, it is called li
Nga as all existence is his sport:

Now, the saugata-s try to interpret lIlA as dissolution – as all beings dissolve into it. We believe that while the explicit intention of the buddhihIna-s is to denigrate the H, they are tacitly acknowledging shaiva ascendency & likely citing a real pAshupata scripture.
