Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it marks the conclusion of a chapter in the Mokṣa-dharma portion of Śānti Parvan, identifying the topic as Śuka’s origin and giving the chapter number.
The narrative unit on Śuka’s birth/origin has just concluded; the text formally closes the chapter and situates it within the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parvan, Mokṣa-dharma section.
