Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals that the preceding teaching belongs to the Āpaddharma section of the Śānti Parvan, framing the ethical focus as dharma adapted to crisis and constraint.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrator’s formal closing formula marks the end of a chapter/discourse titled “Ṣaḍja-gītā,” identifying its placement within the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parvan and the Āpaddharma subdivision.
