Haristuti-saṅgraha: Devatā–Ṛṣi Praṇāma, Nāma-māhātmya, and Vairāgya from Deha-āsakti
एवं स्तुत्वा स दक्षस्तु तूष्णी मेव बभूव ह / तदनन्तरजः स्तोतुं बृहस्पतिरुपाक्रमीत्
evaṃ stutvā sa dakṣastu tūṣṇī meva babhūva ha / tadanantarajaḥ stotuṃ bṛhaspatirupākramīt
So verherrlichte Dakṣa und schwieg daraufhin. Unmittelbar danach begann Bṛhaspati, seinen Lobeshymnus anzustimmen.

FAQs
This verse shows stuti as a formal, sequential act: one sage/deity completes praise and falls silent, and another begins—indicating ordered ritual speech and reverence within Purāṇic proceedings.
It does not directly describe the soul’s journey; rather, it frames the narrative setting through successive hymns, which typically introduce or sanctify the teaching that follows in the chapter.
Maintain disciplined, respectful speech in prayer or ritual: complete one recitation with attentiveness and silence before beginning the next, preserving focus and devotional order.
