Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a teaching verse: it signals that Bhīṣma’s instruction in the dāna-dharma section has concluded a chapter titled “Viṣṇu’s Twelvefold (dvādaśaka).” The ethical frame is that charity (dāna) is presented as a dharmic act closely linked with devotion to Viṣṇu.
Bhīṣma’s speech reaches the end of a chapter; the text formally records the work (Mahābhārata), the book (Anuśāsana Parva), the subsection (Dāna-dharma), and the chapter number and title. It functions as an editorial/narrative marker of closure.
