FAQs
This is a colophon marking the completion of a teaching unit: it preserves the chapter’s identity (speaker-pair and topic) so the dharma narrative can be correctly remembered, cited, and transmitted.
It does not directly teach bhakti; instead, it frames the preceding instruction as an authoritative “saṃvāda” within the Purāṇa, a common method by which bhakti- and dharma-teachings are delivered and preserved.
The verse reflects textual discipline (anukramaṇikā-style cataloging): clear chapter naming and numbering—useful for accurate recitation, referencing, and manuscript archiving rather than a specific Vedāṅga doctrine.
