Kārtika-Māhātmya
The Greatness of Kārtika
इति श्रीबृहन्नारदीयपुराणोत्तरभागे कार्तिकमाहात्म्यं नाम द्वाविंशोऽध्यायः ॥ २२ ॥
iti śrībṛhannāradīyapurāṇottarabhāge kārtikamāhātmyaṃ nāma dvāviṃśo'dhyāyaḥ || 22 ||
かくして、尊き『ブリハンナーラディーヤ・プラーナ』後篇(ウッタラ・バーガ)における「カールティカの偉大さ」と名づけられた第二十二章は終わる。
Narrator (colophon/closing formula; not a spoken dialogue line)
Vrata: Kārtika (month observance context; not a specific named vrata in this colophon)
Rasa: {"primary_rasa":"shanta","secondary_rasa":"none","emotional_journey":"A formal, settling closure (colophon) that gently concludes the Kārtika-māhātmya chapter without narrative tension."}
This is the chapter-colophon marking the formal completion of Adhyaya 22 on Kārtika-māhātmya, affirming the text’s focus on the sanctity and religious observances of the month Kārtika within the Uttara-bhāga.
Indirectly: by closing a Kārtika-māhātmya chapter, it frames Kārtika observances as a structured devotional context in the Purāṇic tradition—typically centered on Viṣṇu-bhakti through vratas, dāna, and worship.
No specific Vedāṅga teaching is stated; the verse functions as a textual colophon, useful for archival citation and precise chapter identification rather than ritual-technical instruction.
