इति संक्षेपतः प्रोक्तं माहात्म्यं बुधदैवतम् । श्रुत्वाऽभिनंद्य प्रयतः प्राप्नोति परमं पदम्
iti saṃkṣepataḥ proktaṃ māhātmyaṃ budhadaivatam | śrutvā'bhinaṃdya prayataḥ prāpnoti paramaṃ padam
So ist in Kürze die Größe der Gottheit Budha verkündet worden. Wer dies hört, es ehrfürchtig bejaht und in Zucht verharrt, erlangt den höchsten Stand.
Sūta (deduced—phalaśruti closure within Māhātmya)
Tirtha: Budheśvara-māhātmya (within Prabhāsa-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A recitation assembly (paurāṇika speaking, listeners in attentive posture) with Budheśvara shrine in the background; a subtle upward path/light symbolizing ‘parama pada’.
Hearing sacred Māhātmyas with reverence and disciplined conduct is itself a liberating practice in Purāṇic dharma.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, in the context of Budha/Budheśvara’s glory.
Śravaṇa (listening) to the Māhātmya, coupled with reverent acceptance and self-restraint (prayatna/prayata).
