FAQs
This is a colophon (chapter-ending marker) that formally seals the Prayāga-māhātmya teaching, indicating the completion and scriptural authority of the tīrtha-glorification within the Vasu–Mohinī narrative frame.
Direct bhakti instruction is not given here; instead, it situates the devotional practice context—pilgrimage and reverence for Prayāga—by closing the section where such tīrtha-centered devotion and merit are taught.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught in this line; it functions as a textual-structural cue (anukrama/colophon style) used to organize Purāṇic chapters for accurate recitation and archival referencing.
