This is a colophon marking completion of Adhyāya 97; its significance is archival and traditional—affirming the text’s authority, sectioning (Pūrva-bhāga, pāda), and the chapter’s topic (anukramaṇī, i.e., the Purāṇic outline).
It does not directly teach bhakti; it functions as a chapter-ending rubric. Indirectly, it supports bhakti study by clearly organizing where teachings and summaries are located within the Nārada Purāṇa tradition.
No specific Vedāṅga is taught in this colophon; however, it reflects śāstric textual discipline—systematic indexing (anukramaṇī) and formal chapter demarcation used in Purāṇic transmission.
