Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon concluding a chapter whose subject is varṇāśrama-dharma—ethical duties structured by social roles (varṇa) and life-stages (āśrama)—presented within the broader instruction on rājadharma (the responsibilities of rulership and public order).
Rather than advancing dialogue, the text formally marks the end of the sixty-fourth chapter in the Rājadharmānuśāsana section of Śānti Parva, signaling that the exposition on varṇāśrama-dharma has been completed.
