Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it frames the surrounding teaching as part of the Mahābhārata’s instruction on dāna-dharma (the ethics of giving), delivered through the dialogue of Umā and Maheśvara.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text formally closes a chapter of the Umā–Maheśvara dialogue within the Anuśāsana Parva, identifying the work, parva, thematic subsection (dāna-dharma), and the chapter number (150).
