Ainsi s’achève le trente-sixième chapitre de la section du dialogue entre le Maître et le Disciple, au sein du sous-parvan de l’Anugītā, contenu dans l’Aśvamedhika Parva du Mahābhārata sacré. Ce colophon de clôture marque l’achèvement de l’échange d’instruction et situe ses enseignements dans la vaste méditation éthique et spirituelle d’après-guerre, qui suit le contexte de l’Aśvamedha.
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: its function is to signal the completion of a chapter focused on guru–disciple instruction within the Anugītā. The implied emphasis is on the authority of transmitted teaching (śāstra and ācārya-paramparā) and on framing ethical reflection as a structured, chaptered discourse within the epic.
The text is closing the thirty-sixth chapter of the Anugītā section, identifying its topic as a guru–disciple dialogue and locating it within the Aśvamedhika Parvan. It serves as an editorial/narrative boundary marker, indicating that the preceding instructional exchange has concluded.
