etatsomasya sūryasya sarvaliṅgaṁ sthāpayati pāṇīmantraṁ pavitram|| 16-1
mahānārāyanopaniśadi taittirīya āraṇyake||
The twenty two names invoking the Supreme Lord Shiva, who is invoked as a linga.. the linga or an idol of simple, elegant and sublime shape transcending all worldly symbols and icons..
The lingam is where the Universal Lord manifests as the eternal witness of day and night.. Soma, the moon and Surya the sun.
The twentyone names given in the vedic mantra above.. are invoked when the Shiva lingam is consecrated at home, at temples, or anywhere, wherever the presence of that supreme being is manifest..
And there is nothing, no space, where He is not present..
The translation of the prayer (Mantram).. in simple words..
--------------
Pranams to the one who creates and supervises the final deluge and destruction at the time of Pralayam
Pranams to the one who is the cause of death even to Yama, the deity who causes death to living beings.
Pranams to the one who is stationed above in space and in status too above all that is considered great and who possesses control over are other things.

Pranams to the one who is occupying the ultimate inner spot or core of every being.. the atma
Pranams to the one who can be realized as the occupant of the core of every being.. concealed as the core of every Atma.
Pranams to the supreme one, the one who can never be compared with anything
Pranams to the one who is the supreme element inherent in every being, concealed in every being as the supreme components and rendering all other components function through His powers.
This is the mantram invoking the glory of the one Soma.. the one who is having the lovely company of Uma, and also manifests in the moon, and in the Sun too.. This is the sacred mantram when chanted holding the linga in the hands of the sadhaka, invokes the presence of that Great Lord in the Idol of Shivalingam
It is a very sacred Vedic Mantam.
The spirit of this mantram ensures the presence of Shankara with His lovely Uma in every lingam we try to worship with devotion..
Namah Shivaya.
