Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals that the chapter’s instruction—situated within Bhīṣma’s guidance on rājadharma and the exposition of varṇāśrama-dharma—has concluded.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text formally closes the chapter within the Śānti Parva, identifying its placement in the Mahābhārata’s larger structure (Śānti Parva → Rājadharmānuśāsana section → discourse on varṇāśrama duties).
