idaṃ yaśasyamāyuṣyaṃ dhanyaṃ duḥkhapraṇāśanam | paṭhatāṃ śṛṇvatāṃ vāpi sarvapāpapramocanam
हे आख्यान यश व दीर्घायुष्य देणारे, मंगलमय व दुःखनाशक आहे; जे पठण करतात किंवा ऐकतात, त्यांना सर्व पापांपासून मुक्ती देते।
Śaṅkara (Śiva) (phala-śruti continuation)
Tirtha: Revā-māhātmya (account)
Type: kshetra
Listener: King (implied continuation) and general audience
Scene: A concluding benediction scene: listeners gathered, the rishi’s narration radiates auspiciousness; symbolic motifs of longevity (kalasha, āmalaka) and fame (banner) appear.
Purāṇic māhātmya is upheld as spiritually efficacious: it heals sorrow and purifies karma through devotion.
This is a concluding phala-śruti; it summarizes benefits rather than naming a distinct tīrtha in the verse.
Regular pāṭha (recitation) or śravaṇa (hearing) of the māhātmya.
