Indirectly, it presents divine lordship as the power to ordain cosmic roles: Śiva (Maheśvara) and Devī function as supreme authorities who appoint Gaṇapati—hinting that the ultimate reality governs even immortals and their destinies.
No explicit practice is taught in this line; instead it sets a devotional-theological foundation typical of the Kurma Purana, where reverence to Śiva–Śakti and their appointed deities supports later disciplines such as Pāśupata-oriented worship, mantra, and dhyāna.
