अन्धकादिदैत्ययुद्धे वीरकविजयः — Vīraka’s Victory over Andhaka’s Forces
इति श्रीशिवमहापुराणे द्वितीयायां रुद्रसंहितायां पञ्चमे युद्धखण्डे युद्धप्रारंभदूतसम्वादवर्णनंनाम पञ्चचत्वारिंशोऽध्यायः
iti śrīśivamahāpurāṇe dvitīyāyāṃ rudrasaṃhitāyāṃ pañcame yuddhakhaṇḍe yuddhaprāraṃbhadūtasamvādavarṇanaṃnāma pañcacatvāriṃśo'dhyāyaḥ
Так завершается сорок пятая глава, именуемая «Описание беседы с посланником при начале войны», в пятом разделе (Юддха-кханда) второй части (Рудра-самхита) «Шри Шива Махапураны».
Sūta Gosvāmin (traditional Purāṇic colophon framing the narration to the sages of Naimiṣāraṇya)
Sthala Purana: Colophon verse; no specific jyotirliṅga narrative is invoked.
This is a colophon verse marking the completion of a chapter; spiritually, it preserves the scriptural lineage and structure, encouraging disciplined śravaṇa (listening) and smaraṇa (remembrance) of Śiva-kathā as a means to steady devotion toward Pati (Śiva).
While it does not directly describe Liṅga worship, it frames a Śiva-centered narrative within the Rudra Saṃhitā; such structured recitation and study is itself a form of saguna-bhakti, where Śiva is approached through his līlā and Purāṇic teaching.
A practical takeaway is pāṭha-niyama: regular chapter-wise recitation/listening of the Shiva Purana with reverence, optionally beginning with pañcākṣarī japa (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) to sanctify the study.
