Educational Q&A

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals that the chapter’s teaching has been completed and identifies its subject as the Mokṣadharma-oriented dialogue involving Vasiṣṭha, Karāla, and Janaka—framing the discourse as guidance toward liberation and right understanding.

The text formally closes the chapter within the Śānti Parva’s Mokṣadharma section, naming the dialogue’s participants and indicating that the three hundred and seventh chapter has concluded.
