Educational Q&A
The chapter-ending note points to a dharmic emphasis: life is to be protected, and sincere spiritual power (tapas), devotion, and righteous intent can become instruments for restoring what is lost—framing compassion and responsibility as central virtues.
This is a concluding colophon stating that the ninth chapter of the Pauloga section within the Ādi Parva has finished, and that its subject was the episode connected with Pramadvarā being brought back to life.
