FAQs
This is the chapter-colophon: it marks completion of Adhyaya 3 and preserves the chapter’s title, anchoring the narrative focus on Yama’s movement toward Brahmaloka and the karmic–cosmic order implied by such a journey.
Direct bhakti-instruction is not stated here; as a colophon it functions structurally—signaling the end of a teaching unit that, in context, supports dharma and right understanding, which in the Purāṇic framework culminate in devotion to the Supreme.
No Vedāṅga technique is taught in this line; it reflects Purāṇic textual convention (anukrama/colophon style) used to catalog chapters—useful for recension, citation, and ritual reading sequences.
