Undeceptive virtue is extolled herein; it is, in the main, of the nature of Vedantic wisdom. It contains mantras, and three aims of life and the thing knowable by wise men of unprejudiced mind.
शैवं पुराणतिलकं खलु सत्पुराणं । वेदांतवेदविलसत्परवस्तुगीतम् । यो वै पठेच्च शृणुयात्परमादरेण शंभुप्रियः स हि लभेत्परमां । गतिं वै ६७ ।
The Śivapurāṇa is the best among the Purāṇas, extolling the great Being that glows in Vedānta and the Vedas. He who reads and listens to it with devotion becomes a favourite of Śiva and attains the supreme position (here and hereafter).
