Adhyaya 43 — Portents of Death (Ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇas) and the Yogin’s Response; Alarka Renounces Kingship
एतत् सर्वं समाख्यातं तवालर्क ! यथार्थवत् ।
प्राप्स्यसे येन तद्ब्रह्म संक्षेपात्तन्निबोध मे ॥
etat sarvaṃ samākhyātaṃ tavālarka yathārthavat / prāpsyase yena tad brahma saṃkṣepāt tan nibodha me
एतत् सर्वं तेऽलर्क सत्येन व्याख्यातम्। इदानीं मत्तः संक्षेपेण तद् अवगच्छ येन त्वं तद् ब्रह्म प्राप्स्यसि।

Purāṇic instruction is positioned as ‘yathārtha’ (reality-aligned): the text claims practical soteriological value—guidance aimed at direct realization, not mere theory.
A concluding upadeśa marker within a narrative-philosophical segment; not a pancalakṣaṇa category but supportive of the Purāṇa’s didactic mission.
The move to ‘saṃkṣepa’ signals a shift from preparatory practices (timing, fearlessness, guṇa-transcendence) to a distilled pointing-out instruction toward Brahman.
