Educational Q&A

The verse underscores the religious value of hearing and transmitting māhātmya—sacred accounts of divine greatness—here emphasizing reverence for Śiva (Devadeva) while addressing Kṛṣṇa (Janārdana), reflecting a harmonizing, devotional ethic.

Nārada concludes (or pauses) his narration by telling Janārdana that he has finished recounting the greatness of Śiva, identified by epithets Kapardin and Girīśa.
