we chant only SIVA and SIVA only. In his BILHANA STAVAM he says

 

PANCHABRHMA SHADANGA BEEEJA MUKHARA PRAASAADA PANCHKSHARA

VYOMAVYAAPI PURASSARESHU MANUSHUH PROWDHIH KUTO MAADRUSAAM

OMKAARAADI NAMONTA MUDRITA BHAVNNAMAAVALI KALPITAM

SARVAM MANTRATAYA PRABHO PARINAMATYANTAR BAHIRYOGATAHA

 

means 'O LORD SIVA I dont know the worshiping methods of PANCHABRAHAM,

SHADANGABEEJA, MUKHARA, PRASADA, PANCHAKSHARA and vyomavyapi etc., I

know only to render your name which prefixed with OM and NAMAHA in the last as i

don't know the ANTARYAGAM and BAHIRYAGAM and I think that

this 'OM NAMASSIVAYA' itself gives me THE effect of ANTARYAGAM and

BAHIRYAGAM. SIVAHA SUBHAM KAROTU
