Garuda Purana — Moksha Sadhana Prakarana, Shloka 16
Haristuti-saṅgraha: Devatā–Ṛṣi Praṇāma, Nāma-māhātmya, and Vairāgya from Deha-āsakti
एवं स्तुत्वा स दक्षस्तु तूष्णी मेव बभूव ह / तदनन्तरजः स्तोतुं बृहस्पतिरुपाक्रमीत्
evaṃ stutvā sa dakṣastu tūṣṇī meva babhūva ha / tadanantarajaḥ stotuṃ bṛhaspatirupākramīt
Sau khi dâng lời tán thán như vậy, Dakṣa liền im lặng. Ngay sau đó, Bṛhaspati bắt đầu cất lên bài tụng ca tán dương.

FAQs
This verse shows stuti as a formal, sequential act: one sage/deity completes praise and falls silent, and another begins—indicating ordered ritual speech and reverence within Purāṇic proceedings.
It does not directly describe the soul’s journey; rather, it frames the narrative setting through successive hymns, which typically introduce or sanctify the teaching that follows in the chapter.
Maintain disciplined, respectful speech in prayer or ritual: complete one recitation with attentiveness and silence before beginning the next, preserving focus and devotional order.
