ಇಂತೆ ಶ್ರೀಮಾರ್ಕಂಡೇಯಪುರಾಣದಲ್ಲಿ ‘ದುಃಸಹೋತ್ಪತ್ತಿನಿಗಮನ’ ಎಂಬ ಐವತ್ತೊಂದನೆಯ ಅಧ್ಯಾಯವು ಸಮಾಪ್ತವಾಯಿತು. ಮಾರ್ಕಂಡೇಯನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಅವ್ಯಕ್ತದಿಂದ ಜನಿಸಿದ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮನ ಈ ತಾಮಸ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿ ಮುಗಿಯಿತು; ಈಗ ನಾನು ರುದ್ರಸಂಬಂಧಿತ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ವರ್ಣಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ, ನನ್ನ ವಚನವನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿರಿ।

FAQs
The Purāṇa organizes reality through graded creations (sargas), implying that the cosmos unfolds through distinct modalities (guṇas) and divine functions; attentive listening to such accounts is framed as a means of right understanding.
Directly under Sarga (creation): it explicitly names a tāmasa sarga and announces the Rudra-sarga to follow.
‘Born of the unmanifest’ points to avyakta as the subtle ground of manifestation; the shift to Rudra-sarga signals the emergence of transformative/destructive power as an essential cosmic principle within the cycle of manifestation.
