Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a teaching verse: it signals the completion of a chapter within the Dāna-dharma discourse, reinforcing that the surrounding material belongs to the ethical framework of giving (dāna) as a component of dharma.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is formally closing the chapter, identifying the work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Anuśāsana), the internal section (Dāna-dharma), and the chapter count. It functions as a structural marker used by reciters and scribes.
