Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse itself teaches by framing: it reminds the reader that the forest-exile narrative is embedded in a pilgrimage context, where sacred travel is meant to refine character. The surrounding Saugaṇdhika episode is traditionally read as a test of desire and pride, urging restraint, humility, and alignment with dharma even amid hardship.
This line is not a spoken narrative event but an editorial closure: it announces that the chapter has ended and identifies its placement—Vana Parva, within the Tīrtha-yātrā section, specifically Lomāśa’s pilgrimage account, in the episode about obtaining the fragrant saugaṇdhika flowers.
