Adhyaya 71: पुरत्रयवृत्तान्तः—ब्रह्मवरदानम्, मयकृतत्रिपुर-निर्माणम्, विष्णुमाया-धर्मविघ्नः, शिवस्तुति, त्रिपुरदाहोपक्रमः
ततः संचिन्त्य भगवान् स्वयमेव जनार्दनः पुनः प्राह स सर्वांस्तांस् त्रिदशांस्त्रिदशेश्वरः
tataḥ saṃcintya bhagavān svayameva janārdanaḥ punaḥ prāha sa sarvāṃstāṃs tridaśāṃstridaśeśvaraḥ

It frames a pivotal “turning point” where the devas are prepared for further instruction—implying that true resolution comes by seeking the supreme refuge associated with the Linga (Pati), not merely by deva-level power.
