इति श्रीस्कांदे महापुराण एकाशीतिसाहस्र्यां संहितायां सप्तमे प्रभासखंडे तृतीयेऽर्बुदखंडे कामेश्वरमाहात्म्यवर्णनंनाम चत्वारिंशोऽध्यायः
iti śrīskāṃde mahāpurāṇa ekāśītisāhasryāṃ saṃhitāyāṃ saptame prabhāsakhaṃḍe tṛtīye'rbudakhaṃḍe kāmeśvaramāhātmyavarṇanaṃnāma catvāriṃśo'dhyāyaḥ
Ainsi s’achève le quarantième chapitre, intitulé « Description de la grandeur de Kāmeśvara », dans le Skanda Mahāpurāṇa—au sein de la compilation de quatre-vingt-un mille vers—situé dans le septième livre, le Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa, et dans sa troisième subdivision, l’Arbuda Khaṇḍa.
Narratorial colophon (textual marker; no direct speaker)
Tirtha: Kāmeśvara (chapter title reference)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A manuscript colophon scene: scribal palm-leaf folios, a temple silhouette of Prabhāsa in the distance, and a small cartouche reading the chapter title ‘Kāmeśvara-māhātmya’.
It formally seals the authority of the preceding Kāmeśvara-māhātmya, framing the site/deity’s greatness as a Purāṇic guide for dharma and pilgrimage.
Kāmeśvara is the focal sacred locus of the preceding chapter within the Arbuda Khaṇḍa of Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa.
None in this line; it is a colophon indicating textual closure rather than a rite.
