It highlights that true instruction received in dharma and Shiva-oriented wisdom culminates in onward spiritual ascent—symbolized by the departure to a supremely radiant abode—affirming the Purana’s aim of guiding the jiva toward liberation and higher states.
In the Vidyeśvara context, divine teaching is tied to Shiva’s worship-method (especially Linga-upasana) as a practical path; the ‘radiant abode’ implies the fruit of disciplined Saguna worship that gradually matures the aspirant toward Shiva’s grace and ultimate freedom.
The takeaway is steadfast adherence to the taught Shiva-sadhana—regular japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), reverent Linga worship, and purity disciplines like bhasma (tripuṇḍra) and rudrāksha—so that instruction becomes lived realization.
