Educational Q&A

As a chapter-colophon, the verse itself does not state the teaching directly; it marks the completion of a didactic episode within the instruction on rājadharma. The framing indicates that ethical guidance for rulers is being conveyed through the tiger–jackal dialogue, a fable-like discourse meant to clarify right conduct and prudent governance.

Bhīṣma concludes the section by indicating that the chapter on the dialogue between the tiger and the jackal has ended. It functions as an editorial/narrative closure (samāpti) for Adhyāya 111 within the Rājadharmānuśāsana portion of the Śānti Parva.
