It functions as an anukramaṇikā (table-of-contents) marker, linking cosmology (sarga), sacred narrative (Tripura), ritual theology (liṅga-pratiṣṭhā), and liberation (release from pāśa), showing how Purāṇic teaching integrates myth, worship, and mokṣa.
By highlighting liṅga-pratiṣṭhā, it points to devotion expressed through consecration and worship; the implied fruit of such dharmic devotion is inner release—vimokṣaṇa—from binding limitations (pāśa).
It gestures toward ritual application—pratiṣṭhā (consecration) requires precise mantra usage and procedure aligned with śrauta/smārta ritual discipline (kalpa-style practicality), even though the verse itself is a brief topic-summary.
