This verse is a colophon marking the end of a chapter; it frames the preceding teaching as a Mokṣadharma discourse—liberation-oriented dharma—delivered through the dialogue of Yulabhā and King Janaka, emphasizing reflective inquiry as a vehicle for ethical and spiritual clarity.
Bhīṣma’s narration reaches a formal chapter-end: the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parva, within its Mokṣadharma section, concludes the chapter whose subject is the conversation between Yulabhā and Janaka.
