वसिष्ठ उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals that the chapter’s instruction belongs to the Śānti Parva’s larger ethical project—systematizing dharma through authoritative dialogues (here, Vasiṣṭha with Ṭakarāla and King Janaka).
The text formally closes the chapter, identifying its placement (Śānti Parva → Gokṣadharma Parva) and its subject matter (a dialogue involving Vasiṣṭha, Ṭakarāla, and Janaka), indicating the discourse has concluded.
