Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter in the Rājadharma (royal duty) instruction section, framing Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s speech as authoritative ethical counsel on righteous governance.
The text is closing the chapter: it formally states that the fifty-first chapter—centered on Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s words—has ended within the Śānti Parva’s Rājadharmānuśāsana section.
