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 in the Mokṣa-dharma section, framing the preceding material as a father–son dialogue within the ethical and liberative teachings of Śānti Parva.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is closing the chapter: it formally states that the 175th adhyāya—about a father and son’s dialogue—has ended within the Śānti Parva’s Mokṣa-dharma portion, under the broader narration attributed to Bhīṣma.
