FAQs
This is a colophon that sanctifies and seals the teaching by naming the chapter, its addressee (Mohinī), and its authority (Brahmā), reminding the reader that Purāṇic wisdom is transmitted through a recognized lineage and textual structure.
Indirectly: by identifying the discourse as “Brahmavākya,” it frames the chapter as authoritative instruction—typically used in Purāṇas to support dharma and devotion—though the verse itself is a structural marker rather than a doctrinal statement.
It reflects Vyākaraṇa-style precision in textual organization (naming, sectioning, and reference markers) and the Purāṇic convention of adhyāya-colophons used for accurate citation and preservation in recitation traditions.
