इति श्रीमार्कण्डेयपुराणे प्राकृतवैकृतसर्गो नाम सप्तचत्वारिंशोऽध्यायः ।
अष्टचत्वारिंशोऽध्यायः—
क्रौष्टुकिरुवाच— समासात् कथिता सृष्टिः सम्यग् भगवता मम ।
देवादीनां भवं ब्रह्मन् विस्तरात्तु ब्रवीहि मे ॥

وهكذا يَخْتَتِمُ في «شري ماركاندييا بورانا (Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa)» الفصلُ السابعُ والأربعون المسمّى «الخَلْقُ البرَاكْرِتِيّ والڤايكْرِتِيّ». ويبتدئ الفصلُ الثامنُ والأربعون. قال كراوشْتُكي (Krauṣṭuki): «لقد شرح لي المُبَارَكُ الخَلْقَ شرحًا صحيحًا على وجه الإيجاز. يا براهمن، فحدّثني بالتفصيل عن منشأ الآلهة وغيرهم».

FAQs
The student’s request models śravaṇa–jijñāsā (listening and inquiry): brief doctrine is followed by a demand for detailed understanding, emphasizing disciplined learning rather than superficial grasp.
It closes a Sarga-focused chapter and signals continuation of cosmogonic exposition (still within Sarga materials, potentially moving toward manvantara/vaṃśa depending on the subsequent narrative).
The move from summary to detail mirrors inner practice: initial conceptual map (saṃkṣepa) must mature into lived discernment (vistāra), where cosmology becomes a guide for self-understanding.
