The Vision of Śiva3.24

3.24
यत्रोपरि न हस्तादि नेयमीश्वरसंनिधौ । तत्र पादविहारादेः स्फुटमेव निषिद्धता ॥२४॥
yatropari na hastādi neyamīśvarasaṃnidhau | tatra pādavihārādeḥ sphuṭameva niṣiddhatā
— where ; — above ; — not ; — the hand and so on ; — not ; — this ; — in the presence of the Lord ; — there ; — of going about on foot and the like ; — quite plainly ; — prohibitedness

(Objection:) Where one must not (raise) the hand and so on above, this (impropriety obtains) in the Lord's presence; there, going about on foot and the like is quite plainly forbidden (— yet if all is Śiva, such rules become senseless).
