FAQs
This verse marks a formal transition: after Kratu completes his praise and becomes silent, the next speaker (Vaivasvata Manu) begins his own stotra, setting up the next portion of the teaching in an orderly lineage-based narration.
Indirectly: it is a connective narrative verse that organizes the speakers before the text proceeds into doctrinal material. Such transitions commonly precede instructions on dharma, rites, and purāṇic teachings that later include after-death topics.
It models disciplined speech and reverence: offer praise or prayer with focus, then remain silent and listen—an attitude useful for study of dharma texts and for performing rites with attention and humility.
