Sthala Purana: Colophon verse marking the closure of a chapter; not a narrative locus tied to a specific liṅga-sthala.
FAQs
This is a colophon marking the completion of a chapter, reminding the listener that the teaching is part of an ordered Shaiva transmission meant to be heard, remembered, and practiced with devotion toward Shiva.
While the line itself is a chapter-ending formula, it belongs to the Vidyeśvara Saṃhitā, which centers on Shiva worship—especially Linga-oriented devotion and disciplined practice leading the devotee from Saguna worship toward realization of Shiva’s supreme nature.
As a chapter conclusion, it implies continuity of śravaṇa (listening) and anusandhāna (reflection); practically, one may close recitation with remembrance of Shiva and resume study alongside core Shaiva practices such as japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) and reverent Linga worship.
