FAQs
It is a colophon (ending marker) indicating that Svarga-khaṇḍa, Chapter 22 has concluded within the Śrī Padma Mahāpurāṇa.
Not directly. Colophons are primarily archival and structural, used to mark the end of a chapter or section rather than convey doctrine.
They help verify boundaries between chapters, support accurate citation, and improve search/indexing for book–khanda–chapter navigation in digital editions.
