इति श्रीमार्कण्डेयपुराणे पितापुत्रसंवादे अनसूयावरप्राप्तिर्नाम षोडशोऽध्यायः ।
सप्तदशोऽध्यायः ।
पुत्र उवाच ततो काले बहुतिथे द्वितीयो ब्रह्मणः सुतः ।
स्वभार्यां भगवानत्रिरनसूयामपश्यत ॥

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.
