इति श्रीमार्कण्डेयपुराणे पितापुत्रसंवादे अनसूयावरप्राप्तिर्नाम षोडशोऽध्यायः ।
सप्तदशोऽध्यायः ।
पुत्र उवाच ततो काले बहुतिथे द्वितीयो ब्रह्मणः सुतः ।
स्वभार्यां भगवानत्रिरनसूयामपश्यत ॥
iti śrī-mārkaṇḍeya-purāṇe pitā-putra-saṃvāde anasūyā-vara-prāptir nāma ṣoḍaśo 'dhyāyaḥ | saptadaśo 'dhyāyaḥ | putra uvāca tato kāle bahu-tithe dvitīyo brahmaṇaḥ sutaḥ | sva-bhāryāṃ bhagavān atrir anasūyām apaśyata ||
So endet im Śrī-Mārkaṇḍeya-Purāṇa, im Zwiegespräch von Vater und Sohn, das sechzehnte Kapitel mit dem Titel „Anasūyās Erlangung einer Gabe“. Siebzehntes Kapitel. Der Sohn sprach: Nachdem einige Zeit vergangen war, erblickte der ehrwürdige Atri—Brahmās zweitgeborener Sohn—seine Gattin Anasūyā.

FAQs
The transition re-centers the narrative on the dharmic household of Atri and Anasūyā, signaling that spiritual power and divine interaction arise within lived life, not only in renunciation.
This is chiefly a grantha-saṃdhi (textual seam) plus vaṃśa-related framing (Atri as Brahmā’s son), but not a formal vaṃśa catalog here.
Colophons function like ritual closures: they ‘seal’ the merit of the episode. The reappearance of Atri indicates the return of consciousness from divine vision to embodied relational life, where the boon will manifest.
