Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter whose topic is the Ṛṣabha-gītā within the broader instruction on rājadharma (the ethical duties of kings and governance) in the Śānti Parva.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is closing a chapter: the compiler/editorial voice marks that the 126th chapter on the Ṛṣabha-gītā topic, situated inside the Rājadharmaśāsana section of Śānti Parva, has concluded.
