Suta Goswami (traditional Purāṇic colophon closure, narrated to the sages of Naimiṣāraṇya)
FAQs
This is a colophon verse marking the completion of a chapter, reminding the listener that Purāṇic history and dynastic accounts are framed within devotion to Śiva and the larger aim of dharma leading toward liberation (mokṣa) under the Lord (Pati).
Though it is not a ritual instruction, the colophon anchors the narrative within the Śiva Mahāpurāṇa’s devotional setting, where historical-kingship themes are ultimately meant to support Saguna Śiva-bhakti and reverence for Śiva as the supreme protector and giver of grace.
No specific practice is stated in this closing line; the takeaway is to conclude study with remembrance of Śiva—mentally offering the fruit of listening/reading to the Lord and continuing japa such as the Pañcākṣarī mantra “Om Namaḥ Śivāya.”
