Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line functions as a colophon, signaling the close of a Mokṣa-dharma episode. By naming ‘Ucchavṛtti,’ it foregrounds an ethical ideal praised in Mokṣa-dharma: austere, non-possessive living (subsisting by gleaning) as a support for inner discipline and liberation-oriented dharma.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is not advancing the story but formally concluding it: it identifies the larger work (Mahābhārata), the book (Śānti Parva), the subsection (Mokṣa-dharma), the specific embedded tale (Ucchavṛtti-upākhyāna), and marks the end of the chapter count given here.
