Educational Q&A
As a chapter-colophon, the line itself does not teach a new doctrine; it marks that the preceding discourse belongs to Āpaddharma—ethical reasoning for situations of crisis—framing the completed dialogue as guidance on right conduct under constraint.
The text is concluding a chapter: it announces that the episode centered on the conversation between Indrota and King Parīkṣit has ended within the Āpaddharma portion of the Śānti Parva, serving as an editorial/narrative boundary marker.
