یوں شری اسکند مہاپُران کے ایکاشیتی ساہسری سنہتا کے ششم (ناگر) کھنڈ میں، ہاٹکیشور کھیتر ماہاتمیہ کے تحت، ‘روپ تیرتھ کی پیدائش سے پہلے پہلے یَجْن کے دن کے واقعات کی روایت’ نامی باب—باب ۱۸۲—اختتام کو پہنچا۔
Redactional colophon (scribe/editorial tradition)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra; Rūpatīrtha
Type: kshetra
Listener: brāhmaṇa audience
Scene: A manuscript colophon scene: scribe concluding a chapter; in the background, a symbolic vignette of Rūpatīrtha and a yajña-vedi to indicate the chapter’s theme.
As a colophon, it authenticates the textual unit and highlights the chapter’s focus: the sacred origin-story (tīrthotpatti) and yajña narrative within a holy kṣetra.
Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra and the associated Rūpatīrtha.
It summarizes the theme as the ‘first day of the sacrifice’ account; no specific injunction is given in the colophon line itself.
