This passage is primarily didactic (ācāra/yoga-upadeśa) rather than a core pañcalakṣaṇa element (sarga, pratisarga, vaṃśa, manvantara, vaṃśānucarita). It belongs to the Purāṇic instruction layer often embedded within dialogues.
The ‘āsana’ is the outer stabilizing form that supports inner steadiness; the text signals a transition from narrative framing (colophon) into practical yogic method, implying that right inquiry culminates in disciplined practice.
