विदलोत्पलदैत्ययोरुत्पत्तिः देवपराजयः ब्रह्मोपदेशः नारदप्रेषणम्
Vidalotpala Daityas, Defeat of the Devas, Brahmā’s Counsel, and Nārada’s Mission
इति श्रीशिवमहापुराणे द्वितीयायां रुद्रसंहितायां पञ्चमे युद्धखंडे विदलोत्पलदैत्यवधवर्णनं नामैकोनषष्टितमोऽध्यायः
iti śrīśivamahāpurāṇe dvitīyāyāṃ rudrasaṃhitāyāṃ pañcame yuddhakhaṃḍe vidalotpaladaityavadhavarṇanaṃ nāmaikonaṣaṣṭitamo'dhyāyaḥ
如是,在《圣湿婆摩诃往世书》中,第二部名为“鲁陀罗集”(Rudra Saṃhitā),其第五分部“战争品”(Yuddha Khaṇḍa)内,第五十九章——题为《诛灭魔族维达罗特帕拉之记述》——至此圆满结束。
Sūta Gosvāmin (traditional Purāṇic narrator concluding the chapter to the sages of Naimiṣāraṇya)
Sthala Purana: Colophon verse concluding the chapter on Vidalotpala’s slaying; functions as textual closure rather than a site-legend.
This is a colophon verse marking the completion of a chapter; spiritually, it frames the battle narrative as Purāṇic teaching—Shiva (Pati) restores dharma by removing the forces that bind beings to ignorance and fear.
Though not a direct instruction on Liṅga worship, the chapter title highlights Saguna Shiva’s protective, grace-bestowing role—devotees remember Shiva’s leelā as a support for bhakti and surrender, which culminates in liberation under Pati’s guidance.
Use the chapter’s conclusion as a cue for śravaṇa and smaraṇa: recite “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” (pañcākṣarī) and contemplate Shiva as the remover of inner ‘daityas’ (anger, pride, delusion), optionally with vibhūti (tripuṇḍra) and rudrākṣa as Shaiva supports.
