Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse; it does not add new instruction but indicates that the instructional unit called the Brāhmaṇa-gītā topic has concluded, framing the preceding teachings as a complete chapter within the Anugītā.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text signals closure: the thirty-first chapter on the Brāhmaṇa’s discourse within the Anugītā (itself inside the Āśvamedhika Parva) is declared finished, preparing the reader for the next chapter or section.
