The phrases
anurāgaḥ (अनुरागः) is the mark, located in pūjādiṣu (पूजादिषु). iti closes that account. pārāśaryaḥ (पाराशर्यः) is the one who says it. The subject, the devotion, is carried from the chapter.
Sanskrit in this line
pūjādiṣu (पूजादिषु) plus anurāgaḥ (अनुरागः) is recited pūjādiṣv (पूजादिष्व्) anurāga (अनुराग). Final u before a vowel becomes v. Visarga of aḥ (अः) before i, a vowel other than short a, is dropped, so anurāga (अनुराग) iti keeps both vowels and no avagraha.
