Educational Q&A
This closing colophon highlights the chapter’s ethical focus: the fruits (phala) of ahiṁsā—non-violence—as a central dharmic virtue, presented within the broader instruction on righteous conduct and charitable duty.
Rather than advancing the story, this line functions as a formal end-of-chapter marker, stating that the 116th chapter—on describing the results of non-violence—has concluded within the Anuśāsana Parva’s Dana-dharma section.
