The Description of the Glory of the Purāṇa
Purāṇa-Māhātmya
कलिदोषहरं पुंसां सर्वसंपत्तिवर्द्धनम् । सर्वेषामीप्सितं चेदं सर्वज्ञानप्रकाशकम् ॥ ३३ ॥
kalidoṣaharaṃ puṃsāṃ sarvasaṃpattivarddhanam | sarveṣāmīpsitaṃ cedaṃ sarvajñānaprakāśakam || 33 ||
Đối với con người, giáo huấn này trừ diệt lỗi lầm của thời Kali, làm tăng trưởng mọi phú quý, thành tựu điều mọi người mong cầu, và soi sáng toàn thể tri kiến.

It presents the phala (spiritual fruit) of the teaching: it counteracts Kali-yuga’s moral and spiritual decline, supports worldly well-being (saṃpatti), and leads toward comprehensive spiritual understanding (jñāna-prakāśa).
By describing the teaching as a Kali-doṣa remover and universally fulfilling, it aligns with the Purāṇic emphasis that sincere hearing, remembrance, and devotion to Hari/Vishnu is the most accessible remedy in Kali-yuga.
Rather than a specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa), the verse stresses a meta-benefit: it “illumines all knowledge,” implying clarity and right understanding that supports dharma, ritual practice, and scriptural study.
