The brahmin tells Chanchulā that repentance and the hearing of this tale have already cleansed her, then recites her the whole Śiva Purāṇa. In time she gives up her body without pain, is carried to Śiva's world, and Pārvatī takes her as a companion.ब्राह्मण चंचुला से कहते हैं कि पश्चात्ताप और इस कथा के श्रवण ने उसे पहले ही शुद्ध कर दिया है, फिर उसे पूरा शिवपुराण सुनाते हैं। समय आने पर वह बिना कष्ट के शरीर त्याग देती है, शिवलोक पहुँचाई जाती है, और पार्वती उसे अपनी सखी बना लेती हैं।
