FAQs
This is a colophon marking the completion of Adhyaya 94; its significance is archival and devotional—affirming the text’s structure and the completion of a Purāṇic outline centered on Viṣṇu-oriented dharma and narration.
Indirectly: by concluding the chapter that outlines the Viṣṇu Purāṇa, it points the reader toward Viṣṇu-kathā as a primary vehicle of bhakti—hearing and remembering the Lord through organized Purāṇic teaching.
It highlights an anukramaṇī (systematic table-of-contents style organization), a practical tool for study, recitation planning, and reference—supporting disciplined scriptural learning rather than a specific Vedāṅga like Jyotiṣa or Vyākaraṇa.
