Thus ends the three-hundred-and-second chapter in the Mokṣadharma section of the Śānti Parva of the Śrī Mahābhārata, whose subject is the dialogue between Vāyiṣṭha and Karālajanaka. This closing colophon marks the completion of that teaching-focused exchange within the larger discourse on liberation and right conduct.

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals that the chapter’s teaching was delivered through a dialogue framed within the Mokṣadharma section, whose broader aim is to orient the listener toward liberation (mokṣa) and the ethical-spiritual disciplines that support it.
The text is formally closing the chapter, stating that the three-hundred-and-second chapter—focused on the dialogue between Vāyiṣṭha and Karālajanaka—has concluded within the Mokṣadharma portion of the Śānti Parva.
