Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon: it does not add a new teaching but signals that the instructional discussion—framed as the Umā–Maheśvara dialogue and focused on strīdharma within the broader dāna-dharma context—has concluded for this chapter.
Bhīṣma’s discourse (as transmitted in the Anuśāsana Parva) reaches a formal chapter-end marker, identifying the textual location: Anuśāsana Parva → Dāna-dharma section → Umā–Maheśvara dialogue → exposition on strīdharma; the 146th chapter is declared complete.
