Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line functions as a colophon marking the completion of a chapter focused on saṁsāra (the cycle of worldly existence) within the broader ethical instruction of dāna-dharma (the duty and value of giving).

What is happening in the narrative?

Rather than advancing the story, the text signals closure: it announces that the 112th chapter on the theme of the saṁsāra-cakra, situated within the Dāna-dharma section of the Anuśāsana Parva, has ended.
