It shows how a cosmic turning point—Satī’s disappearance—becomes a teaching event: Brahmā preserves dharma by transmitting the account to sages, indicating that divine līlā is understood through śravaṇa (hearing) and right narration, leading the mind toward Shiva as the supreme Pati.
Though the verse is narrative, it supports Saguna-Shiva devotion by grounding later teachings and rituals in an authenticated lineage of narration; in the Shiva Purana, such transmission ultimately culminates in Linga-centered worship as the accessible form of Shiva for devotees.
