Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon marking the close of a chapter within the Dāna-dharma section; it frames the surrounding discourse as instruction on ethical giving (dāna) conveyed through the ‘Deer and Farmer’ episode.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is not a spoken narrative event but an editorial/structural closure: it announces that the chapter has concluded and locates it within the Anuśāsana Parva, specifically in the Dāna-dharma portion and the ‘Hariṇa–Kṛśaka’ tale.
