FAQs

This is a colophon verse marking the formal completion of Adhyaya 113 and preserving the chapter’s title and placement, ensuring accurate transmission of the text and its vrata-teaching context.

Direct bhakti instruction is not given here; the verse functions as a textual closure. Indirectly, it frames the preceding content as a vrata-focused discipline, which in Purāṇic practice is commonly undertaken as an offering of devotion and self-regulation.

It highlights textual and ritual organization rather than a specific Vedāṅga: the structured cataloging of sections (pāda), chapter numbering, and vrata-topic labeling supports correct ritual study and accurate referencing.
