माहात्म्य
Chapter Seven · The Listener's Rules · Verses 1–50

अथ सप्तमोऽध्यायः

Sūta gives the rules for those who take the vow of hearing the Śiva Purāṇa — initiation, chastity, the ground for a bed, the leaf-plate, the foods to avoid, the virtues to keep — then the concluding rite, the worship and gift of the book and its reciter, and the fruit of giving it away. The Māhātmya closes with two verses of refuge. सूत उन लोगों के नियम बताते हैं जो शिवपुराण के श्रवण का व्रत लेते हैं — दीक्षा, ब्रह्मचर्य, भूमि-शय्या, पत्तल, त्याज्य भोजन, धारण करने योग्य गुण — फिर उद्यापन, पुस्तक और वाचक का पूजन तथा दान, और उस दान का फल। माहात्म्य शरणागति के दो श्लोकों से समाप्त होता है।
