The Description of the Anukramaṇikā (Chapter-wise Summary) of the Varāha Purāṇa
महातपस आख्यानं गौर्युत्पत्तिस्ततः परा । विनायकस्य नागानां सेनान्यादित्ययोरपि ॥ ५ ॥

继而叙述大苦行者摩诃塔帕斯的事迹,随后是高贵的歌咏:高丽女神的示现;并且还包括毗那夜迦、诸那伽,以及诸统帅与阿底提耶众的记述。
Suta (summarizing the contents in an anukramanika-style listing)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It functions as an anukramanika (table-of-contents) verse, indicating that the text will present puranic narratives of major divine manifestations—Gaurī and Vināyaka—along with cosmic classes like the Ādityas and Nāgas, framing dharma through sacred history.
Indirectly: by pointing to forthcoming kathā (sacred narratives) of revered deities, it signals the puranic method of cultivating bhakti through śravaṇa (hearing) and smaraṇa (remembrance) of divine līlā and origins.
No specific Vedāṅga teaching is stated in this verse; its practical takeaway is structural—an anukrama/listing technique used for organizing transmission and study (useful for recitation, indexing, and archival referencing).
