FAQs

This is a colophon verse marking the formal completion of Adhyāya 85, preserving the Purāṇa’s textual structure and clarifying that the topic treated was the analytical classification of Yakṣiṇī-related mantras within the Vedāṅga/technical section.

Direct bhakti instruction is not given here; the verse functions as a chapter-ending rubric. Indirectly, it situates technical mantra discussions within the Purāṇic framework that ultimately supports disciplined, dharmic practice aligned with devotion.

It highlights the cataloging and systematic “bheda-nirūpaṇa” (classification/exposition) approach typical of technical disciplines—organizing mantra topics by type and section (pāda/adhyāya) for accurate ritual and textual reference.
