Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon marking the close of a chapter; it does not itself teach doctrine, but situates the reader within Mokṣadharma—an instructional context focused on dharma oriented toward liberation (mokṣa), often conveyed through dialogues such as the Go–Kapila episode.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is concluding a chapter: it formally states that the chapter has ended within the Śānti Parva’s Mokṣadharma section, specifically in the Go–Kapilīya (Cow and Kapila) episode.
