This is a colophon that formally seals the chapter, preserving textual integrity and indicating that the teaching focus here is mantra-vidyā—specifically a fourfold set of Durgā mantras—within the Purāṇa’s technical/ritual-oriented third pāda.
Indirectly: by naming Durgā-mantra instruction as the chapter’s subject, it frames devotion as disciplined practice—bhakti expressed through mantra-japa and ritual attention—rather than through narrative praise alone.
It highlights applied mantra-śāstra and ritual organization: the verse situates the content within a structured pāda and adhyāya system, reflecting the Purāṇic method of cataloging technical teachings relevant to practice.
