The exposition of the Pañcamī vow to be observed in the twelve months
इति श्रीबृहन्नारदीयपुराणे पूर्वभागे बृहदुपाख्याने चतुर्थपादे द्वादशमासस्थपञ्चमीव्रतनिरूपणं नाम चतुर्दशाधिकशततमोऽध्यायः ॥ ११४ ॥
iti śrībṛhannāradīyapurāṇe pūrvabhāge bṛhadupākhyāne caturthapāde dvādaśamāsasthapañcamīvratanirūpaṇaṃ nāma caturdaśādhikaśatatamo'dhyāyaḥ || 114 ||
இவ்வாறு ஸ்ரீ ப்ருஹந்நாரதீய புராணத்தின் பூர்வபாகத்தில், ப்ருஹத் உபாக்யானத்தின் நான்காம் பாதத்தில், ‘பன்னிரண்டு மாதங்களில் பஞ்சமி விரத விளக்கம்’ எனும் நூற்று பதினான்காம் அத்தியாயம் நிறைவுற்றது.
Narratorial colophon (textual compiler / Sūta-style closing formula)
Vrata: Dvādaśa-māsa-stha Pañcamī-vrata
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: none
This is the chapter-ending colophon: it sanctifies and authenticates the teaching by formally naming the section, the chapter title, and its placement—marking completion of the Pañcamī-vrata exposition as a Dharmic instruction.
Indirectly: by framing the Pañcamī-vrata as a structured monthly observance, it supports bhakti through disciplined devotional practice (vrata) rather than doctrinal explanation in this specific line.
Kalā/ritual timing is implied through “Pañcamī” (the 5th tithi) and “twelve months,” reflecting practical calendrical-ritual organization used in Dharma and vrata manuals.
