It is a colophon (closing formula) that identifies the text (Padma Purāṇa), the section (Sṛṣṭi-khaṇḍa), and the chapter title and number.
No character is speaking; it functions as an editorial/narratorial closure marker traditionally appended at the end of a chapter.
It names the chapter’s subject: an “ākhyāna” (account/narrative) concerning Bhadreśvara, likely connected to a sacred form/site associated with Īśvara (Śiva).
