Narratorial colophon (textual closure formula; no in-scene speaker)
Concept: Purāṇic colophons sacralize the act of completion—hearing/reciting a full adhyāya is treated like finishing a rite, conferring merit through wholeness.
Application: Complete what you begin in spiritual study—finish a chapter, a vow, a pilgrimage circuit; integrity of practice strengthens inner steadiness.

FAQs
This is a colophon: a formal closing line that identifies the text (Padma Purāṇa), section (Bhūmi-khaṇḍa), topics covered (Vena-upākhyāna, Guru-tīrtha, Cyavana-caritra), and the chapter number (93).
It signals that the chapter’s contents revolve around the Vena episode (Vena-upākhyāna), a sacred pilgrimage location called Guru-tīrtha, and the narrative account of the sage Cyavana (Cyavana-caritra).
No character is speaking; it is a redactional/narratorial closure formula used by scribes and compilers to mark the end of the chapter.
