当圣火炽然腾焰之时，应知这些征兆已然显现；彼时当明了为“停诵期”（anadhyāya），应暂停学习与诵读。又如时令失常，或非时而见云亦复如是。

FAQs
This verse is primarily a dharma injunction about anadhyāya; it does not directly teach ātman-metaphysics, but it supports inner discipline by regulating when sacred study should be paused to preserve ritual and mental purity.
No specific yoga technique is taught here; the verse contributes to yogic discipline indirectly by prescribing restraint and right timing for mantra/śāstra recitation—an aid to steadiness (niyama) and reverence in spiritual practice.
It does not explicitly discuss Shiva–Vishnu unity; it belongs to the Kurma Purana’s broader dharma framework that undergirds later Shaiva-Vaishnava synthesis teachings by emphasizing shared standards of sacred conduct.
