It is like naming a raga.
One note having different colors of movement
it is like cows of many colors
giving white milk
Though kaayakas are many
the act of worship, relation with sharana
and union with linga should be one
in order to know Basavannapriya Naagreshwaralinga.
[Vachana No.1878] [1]

Bokkasada Chikkanna was an officer of the treasuries in Bijj ala’s court. 10 of his vachanas have been traced with the signature Basavannapriya Naagareshwaralinga. In some vachanas he has indicated the non-duality between Ishtalinga and pranalinga. He has argued further that one should realize Shiva and Shiva consciousness through kaayaka.

As long as it is cold heat is to be desired.
As long as it is hot cold is to be desired.
As long as you get up in the morning
and sleep at night non-duality is not true.
That’s why action should not be forgotten
and Knowledge should not be given up as void.
That is fire hidden in stone, oil within the seed.
You should have affection for them to know
Basavannapriya Naagreshwaralinga.
[Vachana No.1879] [1]
