Direct bhakti practice is not stated here; however, by naming the chapter’s focus as dharma and śānti, it signals the supportive foundation that dharmic living provides for stable Viṣṇu-bhakti and spiritual discipline in the Narada Purana’s broader teaching flow.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Śikṣā) is taught in this closing verse; it is a structural colophon used for textual organization and accurate archival referencing.
