Haristuti-saṅgraha: Devatā–Ṛṣi Praṇāma, Nāma-māhātmya, and Vairāgya from Deha-āsakti
एवं स्तुत्वा क्रतुरपि तूष्णीमास खगेश्वर / तदनन्तरजः स्तोतुं मनुर्वैवस्वतोब्रवीत्
evaṃ stutvā kraturapi tūṣṇīmāsa khageśvara / tadanantarajaḥ stotuṃ manurvaivasvatobravīt
Setelah memuji demikian, Kratu juga diam, wahai penghulu segala burung. Sesudah itu, Vaivasvata Manu—yang lahir selepasnya—berkata, dengan niat mempersembahkan pujiannya sendiri.

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.
