Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: its purpose is to mark the completion of a chapter and to situate it within the Śānti Parva’s dharma-oriented instruction, specifically the Ujjhavṛttikā illustrative tale within the Gokṣadharma section.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text signals closure: it announces that the chapter dealing with the Ujjhavṛttikā upākhyāna has concluded within the Śānti Parva, preparing the reader for the next chapter or thematic unit.
