Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it signals the completion of Adhyāya 297 within the Mokṣadharma section, framing the preceding discourse as part of the Parāśara-gītā and situating it within the Mahābhārata’s teachings on dharma and liberation.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is formally closing a chapter: it identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Śānti), the subsection (Mokṣadharma), and the internal unit (Parāśara-gītā), and then states the chapter number (297), marking the end of that adhyāya.
