शिवदूतेन युद्धनिश्चयः तथा देवदानवयुद्धारम्भः (Śiva’s Envoy and the Commencement of the Deva–Dānava War)
इति श्रीशिवमहापुराणे द्वितीयायां रुद्रसंहितायां पञ्चमे युद्धखंडे शंखचूडवधे परस्परयुद्धवर्णनं नाम षट्त्रिंशोऽध्यायः

至此，《圣湿婆摩诃往世书》第二卷《鲁陀罗集》（Rudra Saṃhitā）第五分部“战斗篇”（Yuddhakhaṇḍa）中，叙述诛灭商卡楚达（Śaṅkhacūḍa）之事的第三十六章——《相互交战之描写》——圆满结束。
Sūta Gosvāmin (narrator concluding the chapter to the sages of Naimiṣāraṇya)
Sthala Purana: Colophon verse: closes the chapter on the mutual battle in the Śaṅkhacūḍa-vadha narrative; not a sthala/jyotirliṅga episode.
FAQs
This is a colophon marking the completion of the chapter; spiritually, it frames the battle narrative as a dharma-teaching where Shiva, as Pati (the Supreme Lord), restores cosmic order and guides devotees toward steadfast devotion.
Though it is a concluding header, it situates the episode within Rudra Saṃhitā where Saguna Shiva’s līlā is narrated—encouraging devotees to worship Shiva with form (including Liṅga worship) while recognizing His supreme lordship behind the events.
No specific rite is prescribed in this colophon; the practical takeaway is to conclude recitation with mindful remembrance of Shiva—optionally ending with japa of the Pañcākṣarī (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) as a devotional seal.
