Educational Q&A
This closing colophon frames the preceding discussion as a teaching on kartavya (duty): the ethical emphasis is on right conduct and responsibilities (especially in household and relational contexts) as articulated through Draupadī’s counsel in dialogue form.
This line is a formal end-marker (colophon) stating that the chapter/section has concluded: it locates the text within the Vana Parva and identifies the topic as the Draupadī–Satyabhāmā dialogue, specifically the narration about Draupadī’s duties.
