Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is not a teaching verse; it is a colophon/editorial note indicating the end of the Anuśāsana Parva and giving metrical/verse-count information across recensions.

What is happening in the narrative?

No narrative action occurs here. The printed material marks the conclusion of the parva and summarizes how verses are counted (e.g., treating larger metres by converting to anuṣṭubh-equivalent counts) and lists totals for different regional textual traditions.
