Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it frames the teaching context as part of Bhīṣma’s instructional discourse on dāna-dharma (the ethics and duty of giving) and locates it within the Cyavana episode.

What is happening in the narrative?

The chapter concludes. The text signals that the fifty-first chapter of the Cyavana-related sub-narrative, situated in the charity-and-duty section of the Anuśāsana Parva, has ended.
